As of Monday, there were at least 77,150 confirmed cases in mainland China, bringing the global total to 79,356, with the death toll at 2,619, reports CNN.
A total of 27 of those deaths have occurred outside of mainland China, a major spike from a week ago, when only five deaths had taken place outside China, and most of those involving people who had a direct link to the country.
Major new outbreaks are developing in South Korea, Iran and Italy, with dozens of confirmed cases and multiple deaths.
