WILLEMSTAD - The Ministry of Public Health is keeping a close eye on the development of the so-called Coronavirus.

Currently there is still much unclear about the virus and there is no question of infections outside of Asia. More than 600 people in China have since been infected. Most coronaviruses spread the same way other cold-causing viruses do, through infected people coughing and sneezing, by touching an infected person's hands or face, or by touching things such as doorknobs that infected people have touched.

The Ministry advises everyone to keep their mouth and nose covered when sneezing and coughing and to wash their hands more often than usual.
