With the novel corona virus count hitting 108,000 globally, and the count outside China increasing to 27,000, the economic repercussions are mounting as the outbreak continues to impact global share markets.
3,821 people (approximately) have died as a result of the virus, majority of them within the China mainland. But even as China slowly gets back to normal, the figures outside the country are mounting, with new cases being reported in countries all around the world, and deaths slowly occurring in countries already on the list. Dozens of deaths have been reported in Italy, Iran, and South Korea, and over 100 countries have confirmed cases.
International travel, passing through airports, cruises, international events, local gatherings, are all restricted, controlled, grounds of fear right now.
Much of the northern part of Italy is under lockdown, affecting nearly 15 million people, while other regions face various forms of travel restrictions. More than 7300 cases, and 366 deaths have been confirmed in Italy.
With at least 19 deaths and 1100 confirmed cases, a Europe-wide epidemic is a growing fear. Germany and Spain have also reported hundreds of cases.
248 cases have been confirmed in South Korea as of Monday morning, bringing the national total to 7382. The virus is hopefully under control since this is the slowest rate of increase since the official confirmation of the outbreak on February 26th.
Evacuations flights are being scheduled by nations whose citizens who are affected by lockdowns in various countries.
