Wuhan coronavirus has killed over 200 people. Here are all the countries warning against travel to China.



Citizens wear masks to defend against new viruses on January 22 in Guangzhou, China. The new coronavirus, known as 2019-nCoV, was discovered in Wuhan virus pneumonia cases in 2019, and the virus was transmitted from person to person. 


More than 200 people have died from a coronavirus outbreak that started in Wuhan, China, and over 9,900 people have been infected worldwide.
As the outbreak has spread, China has moved to stop people leaving and entering cities linked to the disease.
Last Thursday morning, authorities in Wuhan shut down the city's public transportation, including buses, trains, ferries, and the airport.
As of Friday local time, at least 15 cities in China are locked down, accounting for a population of over 50 million people. Several media outlets estimate the number of people locked down at 56 million.
The effects of the shutdown have been widespread: Several large foreign and Chinese corporations, including McDonald's, Ikea, and French carmakers Peugeot Citroen and Renault are temporarily shutting down operations and evacuating employees from the area.
And several countries, including the US, UK, and Canada, have warned against all nonessential travel to China and Hubei province as the virus continues to spread around the world.
