"We do not know where the virus is hiding. We also do not know how people could be infected. Until we can answer these questions, we do not have anything to prevent attacks of this infection," said Margaret Chan, WHO director of the 66th World Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland recently.
So what do I need to know about the novel corona virus (nCoV) is? Here's the explanation as quoted from Time.Healthland, Thursday (30/05/2013).

Despite this, the contact can cause infection risk for the casual nature or
not yet be confirmed by the WHO.
2. nCoV comes from the Middle East
The virus began to be detected in 2012 in Jordan and has since spread to several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The problem is many a traveler who 'accidentally' take the infection to their home countries, such as Tunisia, France, Germany and Britain.
This fact is reinforced by the least cases of transmission of infection in individuals who do not visit the Middle East but to interact with them when she gets sick traveler from the region.
