Due to the developing situation in China and Asia concerning the Coronavirus, we will be operating this article as a running live update service to keep businesses involved in ASEAN and Asia updated with the latest relevant regional news.
For specific updates concerning China, please click here
We have concerns about the levels of screening, monitoring and protection in several ASEAN and Asian nations and note the apparent commencement of cross-border infections from February 4. Government and border checks and restrictions have become more stringent and are sometimes being imposed arbitrarily. Travelers should check with their respective airlines and government for any specific travel advisories. We recommend limiting travel throughout the region at this time.
Travel Advisory We are hearing accounts of travelers in some ASEAN countries being denied entry if they possess any China visa history in their passport. While this may not be official policy, it appears to be implemented at certain border crossings in more remote areas. Intra-Asia travel may best be arranged through main exit-entry points where facilities are more advanced.

China spreading the wealth.
The first formal announcement came from the Suzhou government, Jiangxi Province (see official link here). The Suzhou announcement is summarized below as an example of the degree of seriousness with which local governments are treating the current situation:
Suzhou residents currently outside of the city – are not to return to Suzhou. Those residents currently in Suzhou shall only move around when required. For companies and factories operating within the administrative district, staff may not come back to work before February 8. Schools may not re-open before February 17. Exceptions exist for organizations involved in providing basic services for residents (provision of water, gas, electricity etc.) and those involved in combating the spread of the virus.
For any Suzhou residents in transit (returning to Suzhou), inspections shall be carried out on every individual at stations, ports, roads, and highway exits. All such persons shall be restricted to their homes or sent to specialist facilities for a minimum period of 14 days after their return.
Any resident who has traveled to Hubei in the past two weeks, or those who have had physical contact with people from Hubei, or those who have had physical contact with anyone already infected with the coronavirus – are required to report to a medical center to report their health condition and have their temperature taken. They should then be restricted to their homes or go to specialist facilities for observation. If such people start displaying symptoms, such as a high temperature, they must wear a face-mask and go straight to the medical center.
Local administrative bodies should organize task forces to make house visits to propagate the measures put in place by the State Sanitation and Health Committee.
All meetings and gatherings are to be cancelled. Group social meals of all types, whether organized by companies or individuals, are prohibited. Any pre-planned events must be cancelled or delayed. All cinemas, leisure facilities, internet cafes, saunas, etc. are to be closed. Retirement homes and rehabilitation facilities are to be locked-down.
Some roads shall be closed. Road checks will be put in place on the roads that remain open. Light railway and bus routes will run on a reduced schedule.
Administration officials and companies shall put in place measures to monitor the situation within their organizations. If any risk is discovered, they must take immediate action.

Over a week ago...God knows the situation there now.
And the numbers out of China are legit how when scattered reports across HK and other areas indicated that China is not being transparent on actual numbers?
that was a separate article originally posted as an example of what’s going on inside China
A country/govt. like China doesn’t shut down a huge commerce and transportation hub, and many millions of people, unless it’s for a Very Big Problem. They’ve been knocked back on their heels, and when we learn the extent of the this - or what they suspect may be the original cause - it will all be much worse than they’ve admitted.
Hopefully the worst will be contained there.

The quick build of a couple of 1,000 bed hospitals and effectively quarantining millions of people told me all I need to know.
