"There are currently no travel warnings from Australia, which is consistent with WHO`s recommendations. "
So far, WHO has not issued any travel or trade restrictions on China.
The United States has begun testing new coronaviruses at three airports for travelers travelling from Wuhan or transit.
At present, Thailand has diagnosed two cases of infection, Japan found a case, the patients are tourists from Wuhan. No cases of infection have been reported in Australia.
Dr Keith Chappell, from the University of Queensland, said the information available to Australian researchers did not mean an epidemic similar to SARS was imminent.
"This highlights two things: these types of viruses are new viruses that we`ve never seen before; but you also have to be careful about your interactions with wildlife. It`s unclear where the virus came from, but there`s speculation it comes from bats, which carry primarily viruses that are closely linked to coronaviruses. "
At the end of 2019, there were cases of unexplained pneumonia in Wuhan, China. January 7 confirmed that a new type of coronavirus infection, the virus and atypical pneumonia virus similarity of nearly 80%.
