There are more than 10,500 confirmed cases of the virus in over 70 countries and territories outside mainland China. Over 700 of those cases are linked to the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
At least 173 people have died outside of mainland China from the virus.
In the United States, where there are now more than 100 confirmed cases in 15 states and six deaths linked to the virus, the Trump administration sought to project an image of control even as concerns emerged about early missteps, including defective diagnostic kits and highly restrictive rules for administering the tests, both of which may have contributed to the early spread of the virus.
And in Iran, the scale of the largest outbreak in the Middle East remained unclear, with the government confirming 1,501 cases and public health experts expressing concern that the official numbers were unreliable.
The first cases were also reported in Jordan, Senegal, Morocco and Saudi Arabia.
As coronavirus cases show up around the globe, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development cut its outlook for 2020, suggesting that global growth could be cut in half if infections spread more widely outside China.
