Coronavirus has infected more than 113,000 people globally and killed over 4,000, according to CNN's tally.

Italy has been put under a dramatic total lockdown, as the coronavirus spreads in the country. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced that he is extending restrictions already in place in the north.

"All the measurements of the red zones are now extended to all of the national territories," Conte said at a press conference on Monday evening as he also announced a ban on all public events.

Every country in the European Union now has cases of coronavirus, with Cyprus having detected two cases as of Tuesday, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said.
