The Ministry of Health, Wellness & the Environment (MoHW&E) finds it prudent to continuously update the public as events unfold in the People\u2019s Republic of China and across the world regarding novel Coronavirus_2019.<\/p>

The cascade of events so far have yet to be declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization. However, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment continues to increase its in-country capacity to respond effectively and efficiently to any international escalation. In the meantime, it is advised that all nonessential travel to the People\u2019s Republic of China be avoided. The Ministry\u2019s Interim Guidance on Novel Coronavirus for travelers is available on the Ministry’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

As scientists become more aware of the natural progression of the morbidity caused by this novel organism, be assured that the Ministry of Health, Wellness & the Environment will continue to update as ALL events unfold.<\/p>
