I. An outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause has recently occurred in Wuhan, mainland China. The pathogen has been preliminarily identified as a novel coronavirus, and there is still a risk of infection. Our country has already classified Wuhan's international travel health advisory level as Level 1 on January 7.

2. Avoid high-risk public places such as markets selling live animals or local medical facilities.

3. Avoid contact with live animals and animal carcasses.

4. Avoid consuming raw meat and raw eggs.

5. If you develop flu-like symptoms (such as fever [≧38℃], cough, etc.), wear a mask and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

(II) After returning to the country:

1. If you develop a fever or flu-like symptoms upon arrival in the country, actively inform airline staff and airport/port quarantine personnel.

2. If you develop the above symptoms after returning home, call the epidemic prevention hotline 1922, wear a mask, and seek medical attention as soon as possible. When seeking medical attention, inform the doctor about your travel history, contact history, and symptoms.

3. Rest at home when sick, do not go out, and reduce or avoid contact with others.

4. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
