The coronavirus outbreak that began in central China in December is continuing its spread around the globe.

As of Monday, the number of cases has multiplied to more than 110,000 in 109 countries, according to the World Health Organization. The death toll has reached more than 3,800.

You can see the spread of the pneumonia-like virus in the maps above from Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering. The maps are regularly updated with data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

Over the weekend, more than 230 cases were added to the U.S. total. The country now has 566 cases and 21 deaths have been reported.

As more testing becomes available, the number of cases in the United States is expected to increase. "You're going to see numbers spike," Dr. Celine Grounder, a clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at New York University, told CNN on Monday morning. "You're going to find the transmission has been there all along."

California now has 114 cases, according to the state's public health department. Washington state has at least 136 cases and 19 people have died. Researchers say the virus may have been circulating for weeks undetected in Washington.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging older adults and people with severe medical conditions to "stay home as much as possible" and avoid crowds.

While the global death toll has risen past 3,400, more people have now recovered from the virus than are sickened by it. As of Saturday, nearly 90,000 cases have been reported in Asia; more than 8,000 in Europe; 6,000 in the Mideast; about 450 in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, and fewer than 50 cases reported so far in Africa.

China, where the disease was first identified last year, has seen about three-fourths of the world's infections and most of its deaths, but new cases have leveled off and most of those infected have already recovered. China on Monday reported 40 new cases over the past 24 hours, the lowest level since it began publishing nationwide figures on Jan 20, and 22 new fatalities.

The virus is now multiplying more rapidly in other countries, including Italy, South Korea and Iran.

Italy is attempting austere measures to lock down 16 million people, more than a quarter of its population. Archeological sites and museums, movie theaters and shopping malls are all affected by the new restrictions, which focus on a swath of northern Italy but are disrupting daily life around the country.

In Iran, fears over the virus and the government's waning credibility has become a major challenge to leaders already reeling from American sanctions. More than 1,000 infections were confirmed overnight, bringing the country's total to 5,823 cases, including 145 deaths.

While many scientists say the world is clearly in the grips of a pandemic — a serious global outbreak – the World Health Organization isn’t calling it that yet, saying the word might spook the world further.

The virus is still much less widespread than annual flu epidemics, which cause up to 5 million severe cases around the world and up to 650,000 deaths annually, according to the WHO.
