^^^ not quite right, they have declared the Coronavirus a 'Health Emergency of International Concern'. This level of alert has NO effect on international travel or trade, it just gives governments more power to co-ordinate their responses to try and limit the spread particularly to areas that don't have robust health systems. Having said that I think that Qantas and Air New Zealand are clearly placing commercial interests above that of public health. I mean the idiot from Air NZ yesterday saying 'don't worry our aircraft filter out viruses', it is staggering.
