The Ministry of Health said in a statement that the virus does not spread via goods coming in from cornovirus-hit countries like China. 
However, the ministry urged residents to follow protective health habits like washing hands frequently, using paper tissues when sneezing or coughing, and avoiding contact with those displaying symptoms of respiratory diseases, to avoid infections.  
Stressing that public should seek information only from official sources, the ministry asked people to dial toll free number 937 of the Health Center in case of any suspected cases.
