In early January 2020, a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown cause was detected in Wuhan City, Hubei, China. The resulting Коронавирус COVID-19 has led to over 95,000 confirmed cases worldwide. Of these confirmed cases, the total number “recovered” is almost 54,000. Since mid-February, the rate of recovery has sharply increased (over 50%), while newly reported cases are clearly slowing in number. An Asia Coronavirus COVID-19 update has been issued by Destination Asia (DA).

Of the 11 destinations monitored by DA, there are currently no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Myanmar, Laos, or the island of Bali. Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia have recorded less than 110 confirmed cases collectively – of which, 70 people have made a full recovery. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on February 27, removed Vietnam from the list of destinations vulnerable to community transmission of COVID-19 citing Vietnam’s comprehensive actions against the epidemic.

Singapore and Hong Kong have recorded just over 100 cases each, and Japan close to 330. Advice on the Asia Coronavirus COVID-19 indicates to reconsider all non-essential travel to China until May. For all other destinations, DA is handling bookings as per usual. Life in these destinations continues as normal, and with the exception of China, travelling around the region remains easy.

With the exception of China, all travel plans can continue as normal. No travel restrictions have been issued by the WHO or national governments between other destinations in our portfolio. Rather than cancelling any planned trips, DA recommends rescheduling.
