Probably already too late.
Iran was already contaminated back in January!
6th case of COVID-19 reported in B.C., contracted by woman visiting Iran
Updated February 21, 2020 3:04 pm
B.C.’s sixth case of COVID-19 was contracted by a woman who was visiting Iran, B.C.’s top doctor and health minister confirmed Thursday evening.
Dr. Bonnie Henry said the woman in her 30s visited the Middle East country in January and returned to B.C. late that same month. She was diagnosed after taking herself to hospital with flu-like symptoms, she added, but was sent home.
“We were surprised as you can imagine,” Henry said about the case, which is the first one in the province without a connection to China.
“We expect there will be an international investigation.”
Henry said the woman’s case is relatively mild and a number of her close contacts have already been put in isolation.

Should we as well, refuse to accept all travelers from Iran?
Iraq urges citizens not to visit Iran over coronavirus
22 FEB 2020
Iraq on Saturday called on its nationals not to travel to neighboring Iran, where five coronavirus deaths were reported.
In a statement, the Border Ports Authority said that an Iraqi committee established to take measures against the deadly virus "advises citizens not to travel to Iran for their safety."
The authority, however, said that "the commercial movement between the two countries is going on, provided that drivers are subjected to a medical examination."
On Thursday, Iraqi authorities also banned Iranian citizens from entering the country through border terminals for three days.
