Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) in Jordan

Given the lack of evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission in the community, WHO does not recommend travel restrictions and offers the following practical advice to all individuals:

1. Consult a health worker if you have fever (38°C or higher) with cough or difficulty breathing. Inform them of your recent travel history.

2. Avoid close contact with people if you are sick.

3. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water and maintain good personal hygiene.

4. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing and sneezing.
