Countries that have not been affected by the novel virus should take precautions and always be prepared for the worse.
This precaution should include advising their citizens on what to do to prevent the virus. Such as: sneezing and coughing in their elbows or use disposable tissue and dispose of well. Washing their hands regularly and use alcohol-based disinfectant.
Stay away from people that are showing symptoms and always report symptoms to the health centers.
All borders, airport, and seaports should be closed in order to prevent infected goods or foreigners into the country
There should be a restriction of movement and ban on public gatherings such as worship centers, clubs, or any social program. Social distancing should be encouraged. Affected countries can also make use of these precautions.
