The deadly novel coronavirus that first originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December last year has spread around the world, sparking a race to find treatments and vaccines against it.
The World Health Organisation has declared the coronavirus as a pandemic which is also known as COVID-19.
As it continues to spread around the world, bringing panic with it, here are the latest numbers from China.
How does it spread?
Coronavirus spread through being in proximity to an infected person and inhaling droplets generated when they cough or sneeze, or touching a surface where these droplets land and then touching one's face or nose.
