The Florida Department of Health would like to update health care providers and laboratories on the detection and reporting of novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) currently causing an outbreak of respiratory illness that originated in China.
The Department is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct surveillance for persons who may have been exposed to or infected with 2019-nCoV while traveling to Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and arrange for confirmatory testing.
