More than 4,000 people have now died globally from the coronavirus, as it continues spreading around the world.

Most of these cases and deaths are still in mainland China -- but the situation there appears to be stabilizing, with only 19 new cases on Monday (compare that to just a month or two ago, when there were 2,000 new cases a day). Instead, the outbreak is worsening in other parts of the world like the US, Italy, and Germany.

Here are the numbers broken down, according to CNN’s tally:

• In mainland China: 80,754 cases, 3,136 deaths

• Outside China: 32,255 cases, 882 deaths

• Globally: 113,009 cases, 4,018 deaths

Those 882 deaths outside China break down like this:

• Italy: 463

• Iran: 237

• South Korea: 54

• France: 30

• Spain: 28

• United States: 26

• Japan: 16
