More than 50 million people are under quarantine in China to contain the Wuhan coronavirus, which has infected thousands and is responsible for at least 82 deaths.

The disease has already reached several countries, including the U.S., and now Chinese health officials warn that the coronavirus is becoming more virulent and could be spread before people appear to be sick.
