WUHAN, Hubei — Here's what's new in the outbreak linked to an emerging virus in China.

Wuhan, the city where the outbreak started, has halted all outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries. Now, 12 other cities have followed suit. That puts a combined population of more than 36 million under lockdown.
Additional cases cropped up outside China.

The U.S. has its second case, a Chicago woman in her 60s who returned from China on Jan. 13.
