If you are thinking about canceling a trip, or planning on continuing a trip to a country affected by the coronavirus, here's everything you need to know.
Due to health concerns, some popular tourist destinations are now closed. Popular sections of the Great Wall of China are currently closed to visitors. Walt Disney & Co. has also announced the temporary closure of Shanghai Disneyland Park until the situation is deemed safe. Make sure to check that the attractions you are visiting are still open, and either adjust your itinerary or postpone the trip.
While in all areas of China, it's important to take additional precautions. The coronavirus is spread from animals to humans, and this outbreak has been traced to a seafood market in Wuhan. To reduce the likelihood of contracting the virus, avoid meat markets and animals of any kind while visiting. Like any other virus, avoid those who are coughing or sneezing, thoroughly and frequently wash your hands, and wear a mask if you are sick to avoid spreading to others.
Cases have been reported outside of China, including the five in the U.S. Most of the cases have been in Southeast Asia, causing some to wonder if they should avoid the entire region. Though there have been no cases of person to person transfer in the U.S., there have been such cases in Southeast Asia, even from people who were not yet showing symptoms themselves before spreading the virus. Though this is concerning, it is uncommon in the larger scheme of things.
