Passengers arriving from a flight from Changsha in China are screened for the new type of coronavirus, whose symptoms are similar to the cold or flu and many other illnesses, upon their arrival in Nairobi, Kenya on Jan. 29, 2020.

The photos are dramatic: deserted streets, people in face masks, a cruise ship docked, unable to allow passengers off, due to people infected with coronavirus.

The numbers of cases are rising so quickly, it’s hard to keep a complete count. Disease experts say the outbreak isn’t a pandemic yet, but could still become one. Meanwhile, there’s lots of misinformation circulating about coronavirus. And it’s still flu season!

Several area universities have issued information and travel advisories about coronavirus including the University of California system, UC Davis and the University of the Pacific.

 

You can track the latest news about coronavirus via the New York Times here and can get more information about the virus in California via the California Department of Public Health here.
