Precautions against litigation are part and parcel of employer practices in the US.

Perception can be reality and everyone should feel safe at work.
Can you ask the people coming back to work from China to work from home for 1 or 2 weeks?

“...China’s National Health Commission (NHC) said on Sunday that the new coronavirus is contagious even in its incubation period, which lasts up to 14 days, and that the virus’ ability to spread is getting stronger...”

14 days. That’s a long time to be walking around seemingly healthy but potentially contagious.

Back to subject.
I am at global company with close to 100K people with offices in Shanghai and Beijing where not only locals, but there are number of expats.
Department responsible for 'physical security' (yes, there is such) sent email on Friday, right before CNY saying that there are no extra precaution at this moment in place. Beijing and Shanghai offices are closed this week anyway.

My son's company recalled everyone from China, he came home last week, my company requires corporate approval for any travel and also effectively recalling everyone.
Other companies with big operations in Wuhan are really scrambling to set protocal and manage business continuity, a 10x of the move Outbreak, LOL

If the transmission is between 1.2-3 and as noted 14 days of contagious before knowing or being diagnosed you should see a doubling every 10 days, so take a look at the plot and double twice a month, the actual curve is pretty close right now. Then it will stabilize either as we get immunity and/or we fully isolated all transmitters.

Came today

- Defer all travel to Hubei Province, Mainland China.
- Defer non-essential travel to the rest of Mainland China, outside Hubei Province.
===>
Pretty much what CDC recommends.
