Death toll spikes: China's Hubei province announced 242 new deaths from the novel coronavirus Thursday morning, twice as many as on the previous day. New infections there jumped by more than 14,000.
Global epidemic: The virus has killed more than 1,350 people and infected over 60,000 people worldwide. The vast majority of cases are in mainland China.
Widened definition: The spike in numbers is partly down to a broader definition of what constitutes a confirmed case, to include people diagnosed on the basis of their symptoms rather than testing positive.
Cruise crisis: A total of 44 more cases have been confirmed on a cruise ship quarantined in Japan -- that's now 219 in total on board. A second cruise ship stranded at sea with over 2,000 people on board has been given permission to dock in Cambodia.
