It is now telling members to “stay away from the land of the epidemic” in case they are struck down by the deadly bug.
Leaders have even issued a new set of directives advising followers to “cover their mouths when yawning and sneezing” and to wash their hands regularly.
In the latest issue of its al-Naba newsletter, they refer to quotes from the Prophet Muhammad to hammer home the dangers of coronavirus.
The newsletter refers to it as a “plague” described as a “torment sent by God on whomsoever He wills”.
Another message notes: “Illnesses do not strike by themselves but by the command and decree of God.”
The newsletter warned the “healthy should not enter the land of the epidemic and the afflicted should not exit from it”.

The list of instructions was published in the organisation's newsletter
It also includes decrees such as "put your faith in God and seek refuge in him".
Iraq, where most of the surviving fragments of the group remain, had 110 reported coronavirus cases by this morning, ten of them fatal.
Syria has not reported any cases of coronavirus, but with the government only in control of parts of the country it's feared cases are going undetected.
Iran is by far the worst-affected country in the Middle East with at least 10,000 cases and hundreds of deaths, though observers say the true toll is much higher.
Recent satellite images of mass graves in the city the Qom suggest the epidemic is even more serious than the authorities are admitting.
The pictures, published by the New York Times, show the excavation of the new section in a cemetery in the north of Iran's holy city in February and two long trenches dug by the end of the month.
Iraj Harirchi, Iran's deputy health minister, held a press conference to "categorically deny" the allegations but he was clearly coughing and sweating during the event.
The next day he confirmed he had tested positive for the virus.
