Coronavirus has killed 168 more people in Italy in the past 24 hours, the highest toll in a single day since the start of the outbreak in the country.

Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, for the first time since the epidemic began - a sign Beijing believes its efforts to control the virus were working.

The whole of Italy - a country of some 60 million people - was placed under quarantine as the government stepped up efforts to tackle the coronavirus outbreak that has killed 463 people and affected more than 9,000.

Globally, more than 4,000 people have died from the coronavirus and over 113,000 cases have been confirmed, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). About 64,000 people have recovered around the world.

The death toll in Italy from the novel coronavirus has surged to 631 after 168 more fatalities were confirmed in the last 24 hours, according to officials.

It is the highest single-day toll to date since the outbreak started in the European country.

The total number of cases in Italy also rose to 10,149 from a previous 9,172, the Civil Protection Agency said.
