On the basis of the information currently available, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) considers that the potential impact of 2019-nCoV outbreaks is high; further global spread is likely; there is currently a moderate likelihood of infection for European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) travelers visiting Wuhan, China; and there is a moderate likelihood of detecting cases imported into EU/EEA countries.
