The total number of coronavirus cases globally is now 470,000. We'll go to Spain where the death toll from the coronavirus has surpassed the official figure from China, becoming the second highest in the world; we'll hear from a doctor about what has been learnt so far about the symptoms of coronavirus; and as the global virus outbreak affects more and more aspects of our lives, we look at what social distancing means if you're about to give birth.
