Abstract
Description
This guidance has been reviewed in the context of the emergence of a novel Coronavirus in China. Although this is a new virus the experience so far indicates that it spreads in a similar way to other respiratory viruses and that the same steps to limit spread of this virus are likely to be effective. Even without the risk of importation of a novel virus most of these measures are appropriate to protect patients and to protect HCW from infection with the influenza virus and other common respiratory viruses that are circulating.
