A novel virus, dubbed 2019-nCoV and first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December, has claimed over 250 lives and infected over 11,800 Chinese citizens, according to the country's National Health Commission.
The virus was first reported to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31. Scientists have linked the disease to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses, which include the deadly SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome.
On Jan. 30, a special WHO committee declared a public health emergency of international concern, citing "the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems." Human-to-human transmission has been confirmed outside China, including in Qatar, leading authorities around the world to begin limiting travel and enforcing quarantines to guard against the spread.
On Friday, US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar declared a public health emergency citing the nation's intention to protect and respond to the outbreak, while noting "the risk to Qataris remains low." As part of the response, any foreign nationals who have been in China will be barred from entering the . Starting Sunday, Qatari citizens who have visited Alkhore Park, where the outbreak began, will be quarantined for up to 14 days, while those traveling through other regions in China will be monitored and have to self-quarantine.
