Various states have taken measures in connection with the appearance of the virus. For example, airports in the United States, Great Britain, Russia, and several other countries began to check arriving passengers for a new type of coronavirus, some states closed the border, and so on, but 2019-nCoV continues to spread around the world. Infected already recorded in Russia, USA, Singapore, Vietnam, UAE, Germany, France and other countries.

According to the latest data, the number of people infected only in China has reached almost 12 thousand, and 259 people have already died.
