Women wearing masks stand in front of a TV screen showing news of Chinese President Xi Jinping at a bus station in Shanghai, China, as the country is hit by an outbreak of the novel coronavirus on February 20, 2020.
Around 75,000 people have been infected by the new coronavirus in China, and hundreds more in over 25 countries. Some 164 Australians aboard the Diamond Princess were cleared for transfer from the ship to quarantine in Australia's remote north. South Korea on Friday declared the southeast city of Daegu and the surrounding region a “special management zone” after a surge in virus cases that city officials say threatens to overwhelm the region’s health system.
The surge of infections in the Daegu area and several cases in the capital, Seoul, where infection routes weren’t immediately traceable, forced government officials to acknowledge on Thursday for the first time that the virus has begun to circulate in the local population.
