Guidelines for protection against respiratory infection from the new coronavirus

In Wuhan City, Province Hubei, in China, there was a flurry of pneumonia cases.

On January 9, 2020, China's health authorities announced that it was a new strain of coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that commonly cause respiratory infections of varying severity in humans and animals.

It is estimated that about one-third of upper respiratory infections in humans may be caused by coronaviruses.

THE National Public Health Organization (EODY), has been monitoring developments from the beginning and is in constant communication with both the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). EODY remains vigilant regarding possible outbreaks of the disease in travelers while it has already issued and systematically updates informative material and specialized instructions.
