The World Health Organisation has said the world is in "uncharted territory" on the coronavirus outbreak with the number of deaths worldwide now more than 3,000.

More than 90% are in Hubei, China, but there have been deaths in 10 other countries.

There have been more than 80,000 infections worldwide.

The European Union Disease Prevention Agency has raised the risk level to "moderate to high"

South Korea is reporting 476 new cases, a total of 4,212, and a death toll of 28.

One of the countries worst affected outside China - Italy - on Monday saw a jump in its death toll from 34 to 52.

Indonesia, Senegal, Jordan, Iceland, Portugal, Armenia, the Czech Republic and Andorra confirm their first cases of the coronavirus which is now known as COVID-19.
