By Aritz Parra and David Rising. SENT: 920 words, photos. With VIRUS-OUTBREAK-WHAT'S HAPPENING, VIRUS-OUTBREAK-THE-LATEST (sent)

VIRUS OUTBREAK-SPAIN — Spain enforced even tighter stay-at-home rules for its 47 million people, as the country overtook China as the nation with the third-highest number of reported infections in the world, after the United States and Italy.

By Aritz Parra. SENT: 620 words, photos.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-TRUMP — Stark charts spread out on the Resolute Desk depicting a worst-case scenario of 2 million dead.

By Lori Hinnant and Aritz Para. UPCOMING: 900 words, photos, by 4 p.m.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-HAIR BLUES — As the spread of the coronavirus sends more people into isolation around the world, trips to beloved salons and barber shops for morale-boosting services and longstanding camaraderie are a thing of the past in lock down. By Leanne Italie. SENT: 940 words, photos.
