Haven’t heard of anything yet. It is probably unnecessary. Viruses don’t live on surfaces very long. The trip from China takes long enough that any virus particles would be dead long before they got here.

I have a shipment from China scheduled to arrive in port next week. So far, I haven’t been told of any delays. I’ll repost if anything changes.

There was a rather long thread posted several days ago, but it’s appears to have been removed - go figure.

WASH your hands. Best practice available. .

Keep an eye on the official CDC page.

Very little chance of it being spread via inanimate objects.

A number of airlines have canceled flights to and from China, with some people being required to stay in quarantine for 2 weeks.

BBC has the best news updates.

We did some searches on the internet about this yesterday. So far, it looks like there’s not an issue.

It’s not necessarily. There is no danger.

we can only hope this will happen

My Chinese suppliers cannot ship product until Feb 10 when quarantines are cleared. Who knows… it may be longer

China Post & Hong Kong Post Updates on Coronavirus

The USPS passed along the following messages which it received from the UPU concerning the coronavirus and both China Post and Hongkong Post:

Emergency Information System Message

Message n° 10/2020
28 January 2020 à 17h30(CET)

The designated operator of China (People’s Rep.), China Post, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that, in order to prevent the risk of further transmission and spreading of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), China Post has been instructed by the Chinese government to disinfect all mails destined to or transiting via Wuhan at its processing centre.

For international mails (letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items) destined for Hubei Province (postcodes 430000–449999), China Post will contact the addressee by telephone before delivery to ask about their delivery preferences. The mail can either be temporarily stored at the postal outlet, or made available for pick-up from the outlet, or delivered to a smart parcel locker, or delivered by other non-face-to-face methods. These steps will result in delays to international inbound mail processing and delivery, and it will not be possible to provide written proof of delivery in some cases.

Delivery methods for international inbound mails are thus agreed by the recipient before delivery, and China Post kindly requests the assistance of other Union member countries and their designated operators in explaining the special circumstances to senders.
China Post thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding; it will inform them via EmIS once the situation is back to normal.

Emergency Information System Message

Message n° 14/2020
30 January / 2020 à 14h10 (CET)

The designated operator of Hong Kong, Hongkong Post, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that, owing to measures taken by the Hong Kong government since Tuesday, 28 January 2020 to reduce the risk of the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), all inbound and outbound mail processing (letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items) are subject to disruption. The impact is expected to last for a few days.

Hongkong Post thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding. It will update them via EmIS once the situation has returned to normal.

Viruses usually live 7 days inside and 24 hours outside. A trip from China takes way more than 24 hours. I guess it’s not an issue.
