In the statement, a NoA spokesperson said:

Basically, even though nearly all video game hardware manufacturing takes place in China, Nintendo says it won’t cause any problems in the West, even when it comes to the special Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch system.

Nintendo does not anticipate a significant impact on our broader global supply chain for systems and accessories at this time, and product sales in North America and Europe, including preorders, are not affected. We would like to express our concern and support for all those affected by the coronavirus during this challenging time.

That’s good news for consumers looking to buy Nintendo products — but still not so good for The Outer Worlds on Switch.
