China appears to have passed the peak of the coronavirus outbreak, with figures showing a big drop in new cases in the country.

The Asian powerhouse has been taking strict measures since the outbreak began, including locking down Wuhan, a city of roughly 11 million people, which appears to have paid off.

The disease emerged in Wuhan, the provincial capital of Hubei, late last year and is currently affecting 1491 countries and territories across the globe. It has so far infected over 147,000 people and killed more than 5,500 others.

The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic.
