In the wake of these outbreaks, people traveling to the USA should be cautious and pro-active about protection.

According to NY Times, there are two other possible cases in Texas and Tennessee.

How to protect yourself from Coronavirus during travel

  • Wear quality masks that will protect you from infection.
  • Try to avoid regions closer to the outbreak in China, during travel.
  • If you identify symptoms of fever, alert your nearest Doctor.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds during travel.
  • If you see someone coughing or sneezing, try to keep as far away from them as possible, without being annoying or disrespectful.
  • Avoid contact with people who have symptoms of cold or fever.
  • If you’re traveling to China, stay away from living animals.

There is no need to panic, but being alert and cautious protects you a great deal.
