To date, over 1,300 infections have been documented (according to authorities), with most of them in the surrounding province of Hubei. The spread of the virus has already been confirmed. Cases have been registered in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the USA, France and Australia. Other countries are currently on high alert - especially China's neighbors.
