Cases of infection with the new coronavirus have been confirmed in several countries outside of China. The Public Health Agency of Sweden ("Folkhälsomyndigheten") has therefore updated its recommendations for people who have been in Iran, South Korea or certain areas of China or Italy.

Anybody who has been in any of the areas listed below should look out for possible symptoms, such as coughing, breathing difficulties and fever, and should contact the Vårdguiden public health advice service by calling 1177 in order to be assessed.
 
Areas covered by this recommendation:

•    Hubei, or any other province on the Chinese mainland where the infection is being spread
•    The Italian regions of Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto
•    Iran
