Mark 13:7–8 (NASB95)

⁷ “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. ⁸ “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

We are not sure if the present viral outbreak of 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease is pointing to the end times, but Jesus is telling us that difficult things will happen in our world and being frightened and hysterical is not a proper response. Yes, wash our hands but our trust is in Jesus. God repeatedly exhorts us to fear not for He is with us.
