Further update from Korea. 

1. As of 16:00 today, the number of potentially infected people being quarantined and screened has decreased to 535 (down from 692 this morning). 

2. The total number of potentially infected people(people who had been in the same room with one of the 28 infected people) screened was 7,214 but 6,679 were released (thus, 535 remaining) because they were determined not to have been infected. The government took extensive measures to track these potentially infected people.

3. The number of people with the disease remains at 21, with 20 of them in stable condition. 

Hope everyone stays safe. Thanks.

Let me update the situation in Korea, which is close to China and have been extremely affected by the situation. The Korean government took the situation very seriously and have meticulously tracked the movement of the people that have been diagnosed with the disease. Koreans who had been in the Wuhan area have been flown back to Korea, quarantined for two weeks and are about the be released after thoroughly checking their physical condition. Most of the people using public transportation are wearing masks. As part of the extremely cautionary measure to prevent any further spread, the government has advised delaying the new semester for about two weeks (from March 1 to March 15th).

Thanks to such extremely cautionary measures, the following is the situation in Korea as of today.

1. There have been 28 confirmed cases of people diagnosed with the disease. Fortunately, all of them have reported symptoms similar to a flu, and many are recovering.

2. There have been no new confirmed cases of the disease since the 10th.

3. 7 of the 28 who had been diagnosed have been released from the hospital because they were diagnosed to have been fully cured of the disease. This means that 21 people are still quarantined off, recovering.

4. Apart from the confirmed cases, 692 people who have been reported as possibly having contacted people who have been confirmed to have the disease(ex: happened to be at the location that the people with a confirmed diagnosis had visited - such as having taken the same bus from the airport) are still being quarantined while they go through tests to determine whether they have been infected.

5. The government is still keeping a diligently watchful eye out on people traveling in to Korea.

All in all, the situation is Korea seems to be easing off. However, having experienced the benefits of taking extreme cautionary measures, I am thinking of maybe participating remotely if the situation in Korea worsens.

Dear Colleagues,

The only concerns I heard from EU ccTLDs were that ICANN cancels the meeting. Any suggestions what to respond? Thanks!

Subject: [ICANN Community Leaders] ICANN67 Cancun - Coronavirus (2019-nCOV)

Cassia Oliveira on behalf of Goran Marby




Dear Community Leaders:

 

As you know, ICANN org is actively monitoring developments worldwide concerning the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov). We take the health and safety of our staff, Board and community members very seriously and wish to do the right thing to continue to ensure that everyone remains safe and informed. In this regard, you may have heard that some international conference organizers are, like ICANN, monitoring and evaluating the locations and timings of their events. Earlier today, the GSM Association (GSMA) announced that it was canceling the Mobile World Congress (MWC) that had been scheduled to take place in Barcelona from 24-27 February 2020.

 

In light of these developments, I write now to ask whether you have heard any concerns from amongst your members or other community members about traveling to Cancun for ICANN67. While we have no immediate plans to cancel or reschedule the Cancun meeting, it will be very helpful to hear the community's feedback so that we can take it into account in our planning. As such, please let me or David Olive know if you or your group have information or concerns you would like to share. In the meantime, please refer to this blog post by ICANN org's Vice-President for Security Operations for information on how ICANN org is handling this important matter: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/an-update-on-the-coronavirus-and-its-impact-on-icann.

Thank you.
