Since rocking China's Wuhan in Hubei province in late December, the virus has spread to several countries, including Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, the United States, France, and Australia.
Wuhan's citizens were recently put under a travel ban over fears of spreading the disease. In total, 10 cities of Hubei province officially announced the suspension of transport connections over the coronavirus outbreak.
