The virus emerged in early December and has been traced to a market in Hubei's capital Wuhan that sold wild animals.

It then jumped to humans and spread globally on the wings of a Lunar New Year holiday rush that sees hundreds of millions of Chinese people travel domestically and overseas.

The unprecedented safeguards imposed nationwide include extending the holiday, postponing school restarts and tight health screening on travellers nationwide. SARS, which is similar to the new coronavirus and also originated in China, killed 774 people worldwide, most in China or Hong Kong. Mongolia on Saturday toughened earlier restrictions by implementing a ban on any arrivals from its huge southern neighbour until March 2.Adding to concerns over combatting the contagion, Thai health officials on Friday said a taxi driver became the kingdom's first case of human-to-human transmission.

No one can enter or leave without permission, said Pt Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park on Sulawesi island.
