In December 2019, the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak started in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in China. Since then it has spread to many other continents and regions, including low-income countries. With the current trajectory of the 2019-nCoV outbreak unknown, medical measures and public health will both be needed to contain spreading of the 2019-nCoV and to improve patient outcomes.

It is imperative to increase attentiveness of tourists and travelers about the dangers and suitable protective recommendations and for health professionals to be attentive and vigilant if a patient with pneumonia or severe respiratory symptoms reports a recent history of travel to the country affected with SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). Preventive measures should be taken by National and local health authorities of the affected countries, including Algeria, in order to increase hospital hygiene and desinfection. Finally, it is fundamental to explore the explanations for people’s poor compliance with recommendations and rules and to take exact measures in order to improve them. The present manuscript reviews current strategies on prevention of 2019-nCoV infection.
