A virus similar to the SARS pathogen has killed over 200 individuals and spread around the world since emerging in a market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

Chinese authorities on Friday increased the toll to 213 dead and nearly 10,000 infections. Outside mainland China, there have been more than 100 infections reported.

The World Health Organisation has declared an international emergency over the outbreak.

Here are the places that have confirmed cases of the 2019 novel coronavirus:

China

China has taken extreme steps to stop the spread of the virus, including effectively quarantining more than 50 million people in Wuhan and surrounding Hubei province.

The government on Friday reported 43 new deaths in the preceding 24 hours.

The number of new fatalities has risen daily over the past 10 days. The vast majority have been in Hubei, and many were elderly.

China's National Health Commission also said Friday that 1,982 new cases had been confirmed, bringing the total to just under 10,000.

Another 102,000 people were under medical observation in China with possible symptoms of the respiratory ailment.
