Key points:
Background: The virus causes flu-like symptoms and double pneumonia. More than 1,000 individuals in China have been infected and several travel-related cases in the U.S. have been detected.
BAL Analysis: Travelers from China, including business travelers and U.S. residents returning from China, should be aware of U.S. protocols at airports and prepare for screening and potential diversion to one of the airports where screenings are in place.
