Lockton is closely monitoring the coronavirus outbreak on behalf of our clients. The situation is fast-developing, and local health agencies should be consulted for the latest news and directives.

On Jan. 8, a new coronavirus, "2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)," was identified as the cause of a cluster of cases of pneumonia associated with the Huanan/South China Seafood Wholesale Market. Dozens of other provinces in China have confirmed imported cases from Wuhan. Cases have also been exported from Wuhan into several other countries.
