Coronavirus: Your questions answered
As the outbreak continues we answer questions on the virus from people around the world.
As the coronavirus outbreak continues, up to 16 million people in northern Italy now need permission to travel under quarantine rules. With 366 deaths now confirmed, Italy is the worst-hit country in the world after China. We speak to people who are there, and answer questions from people around the world about the virus.
Also, tens of thousands of migrants and refugees are stuck at Turkey's land border with Greece. In the past week more than 1,700 have also landed on the Greek Aegean islands. There has been violence involving local people on the island of Lesbos, where existing migrant camps are struggling to cope. We'll speak to some people who live on Lesbos to hear what they think.
And, trading in US shares was briefly suspended after sharp falls led to an automatic halt in the selling and buying of stocks. A row between Russia and Saudi Arabia saw oil prices plunge by 20% hitting markets already affected by the impact of coronavirus. But why do oil prices actually matter? We'll explain it all in the simplest way possible.
