What was meant to be a relaxing, well-earned 16-day cruise has turned into more than a month of isolation and uncertainty. A passenger from the Diamond Princess tells his story about contracting the “cold-like” coronavirus and his journey through several quarantines.

Carl Goldman tested positive for the new coronavirus after leaving the ship and arriving in the U.S. He is recovering in an isolation unit of the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

RoK isn't playing... :wow:

Received this gentle email yesterday

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Dear Colleagues,

I want to provide an update on the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and the actions being taken by TCO as of February 20, 2020.
Republic of Kazakhstan status

The Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has announced that as of February 20, 2020, travelers arriving in Kazakhstan from certain countries will be divided into three categories and be subject to measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.

As of February 20, 2020 these categories have been revised as follows:

Category:

Arriving from the following countries:

Measures to be taken

1

China
Individuals arriving from or who have visited China will be quarantined for 14 days from their last day in China in an isolated hospital unit. From the date of discharge, these individuals will be subject to 10 days of medical monitoring, which will take place by telephone on a daily basis.

2

Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Macao
Individuals arriving from these countries will be placed under mandatory health monitoring at their place of residence for 14 days. For 10 days following this period, medical monitoring will continue daily by telephone.

3

The United States, Malaysia, Vietnam, Germany, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Canada and Italy
Individuals arriving from these countries will be subject to 24 days of daily medical monitoring by telephone following their arrival to Kazakhstan.

*Please note, this list is subject to change. Excludes travelers that have transited through airports in the countries listed above.


What TCO is doing

We have activated the TCO Crisis Management Team (CMT), and are currently working with the RoK Government to gain clarity on these recently announced measures.
There is currently no change to TCO’s travel advice, however the CMT is actively reviewing this situation and will provide further clarification on travel and health monitoring requirements as this information becomes available.

Travel from Mainland China/Hong Kong (including transits through China / Hong Kong airports) into Kazakhstan for all TCO employees and agency contractors remains restricted.



What you should do
Individuals who are in Tengiz or Atyrau locations who experience fever and flu-like symptoms should self-report to the TCO medical team by using these contact numbers

But today our 2 team members from China(not infected) have been flown home and "quarantined" there until further notice... and all materials from China and Korea have been "frozen":wow:
Expats from cities or utilizing airports that have had any known or suspected contact have begun being denied entry.
:lupe:This shyt is scary.

At the rate the virus is propogating it might very well be a worst case scenario....60 percent of the global population could get infected... and to be frankly honest as a species we've had this coming for a long ass time.
