LATEST: China expands lockdowns to cover 10 cities with a total of about 33 million people.
Wang Xiaodong, Hubei's provincial governor, said the crisis had"entered a critical stage" and described shutting down the city as a tough but necessary choice.
Normally bustling streets, malls and other public spaces were eerily quiet in Wuhan on the second day of its lockdown. Masks were mandatory in public, and images from the city showed empty shelves as people stocked up for what could be an extended isolation. A man wearing a mask is seen at the Nanjing Pedestrian Road, a main shopping area in Shanghai on Friday.The vast majority of cases have been in and around Wuhan, but people who visited or had personal connections to infected people were among the scattered cases counted beyond the mainland. South Korea and Japan both confirmed their second cases Friday and Singapore confirmed its third. Cases have been detected in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the United States, Thailand and Vietnam.
