While the virus is more commonly found in tropical regions, recent cases reported across parts of China have prompted increased surveillance and public health responses to prevent further spread. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also issued a travel health notice, urging precautions for those visiting affected areas.
