Airports in the U.S. and Asia are screening air travellers from central China

Five individuals in Beijing and 14 in southern China’s Guangdong province have also been diagnosed with the new coronavirus, state broadcaster CCTV reported Monday. A total of seven suspected cases have been found in other parts of the country, including in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in the southwest and in Shanghai.

At least a half-dozen countries in Asia and three U.S. airports have started screening incoming airline passengers from central China. China’s National Health Commission said experts have judged the current outbreak to be “preventable and controllable.” “In the early days of SARS, reports were delayed and covered up,” said an editorial in the nationalistic Global Times. “That kind of thing must not happen again in China.”
