Chinese manufacturing hits record low amid coronavirus outbreak
Factory activity in China fell to a record low in February, as manufacturers closed their operations to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The country's official measure of manufacturing activity - the Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) - dropped to 35.7 from 50 in January.
It shows the virus is having a bigger impact than the financial crisis that shook the world last decade.
The data also suggests that factories are struggling to find enough workers.
