The World Health Organisation declared the new coronavirus an emergency for China on Thursday, but stopped short of declaring the epidemic of international concern. "What choice do I have? It’s Chinese New Year. We have to see our family, ” said one arriving traveller named Hu. Symptoms include fever, difficulty breathing and coughing. Most of those killed by the virus were elderly, many with pre-existing conditions, the WHO said.
Beijing also cancelled two Lunar New Year temple fairs and closed the Forbidden City, its most famous tourist attraction.
