Papua New Guinea health officials are to screen incoming travellers for coronavirus at the country's borders.
The flu-like virus originated in China's Wuhan province, where at least 17 people have died and authorities confirmed 571 cases.
PNG's Health Minister Jelta Wong says the country is preparing as best as it can to contain the threat.
He spoke with Johnny Blades.
