Coronavirus: A visual guide to the pandemic
There are now more than 260,000 confirmed cases - most outside China where the virus originated. Europe is at the centre of the crisis, with cases and deaths rising in several countries.To get more news about coronavius outbreak, you can visit shine news official website.
This series of maps and charts will help you understand what is going on.
1. The virus outbreak is a global pandemic
The rise in the number of daily confirmed cases internationally has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare the spread of coronavirus a global pandemic.
This is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time.More than 80,000 people in China have been diagnosed with the infection since its emergence in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, in December - although its exact source has not yet been identified.
But there are now more than 215,000 confirmed cases outside China, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University.
The WHO said it took more than three months to reach the first 100,000 confirmed cases worldwide, but only 12 days to reach the next 100,000.While these figures are for confirmed cases, the actual number of people with coronavirus internationally is thought to be much higher - as many of those with mild symptoms have not been tested and counted.
In response to the virus's spread, countries around the world are ramping up measures to try to slow it down.
Governments have halted flights from virus-hit nations, locked down towns and cities and urged people to stay at home.
President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency in the US and announced a travel ban on European countries, including the UK and Ireland, as well as China and Iran.
Travellers from outside the EU are also being turned away from airports and borders after the 27-country bloc imposed a 30-day ban on entry.
Many international conferences and sporting events have also been cancelled or postponed, including Six Nations rugby matches, Euro 2020, the Copa America and this year's meeting of G7 leaders in the US.
2. The virus has killed more people in Italy than China
Italy currently has the most confirmed cases outside China - and on Thursday surpassed China's death toll.
While Italy has about 53,600 confirmed cases compared with China's 81,000, its death toll of 4,825 exceeds China's by several hundred.
The majority of Italy's deaths have occurred in the northern Lombardy region, which contains the city of Milan. Hospitals there are reportedly at breaking point and retired doctors and nurses have been asked to return to work.
A record 793 deaths in 24 hours was announced on Saturday. The recent jump in deaths comes despite Italian authorities imposing stringent restrictions, closing nearly all shops, bars, hairdressers, restaurants and cafes.
