China and had developed high fever.

The second and the third measure are to regularly wash hands and cough on handkerchief.

New corona virus was first spotted in China where it killed 56 people so far and infected over 1900 people.

The Chinese government introduced travel restrictions to prevent a pandemic which affected almost 60 million people in 20 cities.

Health authorities around the world are on high alert over the outbreak reported from China.
