[Cleoriff]

The BBC have announced that two patients in the UK have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

No further details have been given other than they are both members of the same family and are receiving specialist NHS care.

At present, 83 Britons and 27 foreign nationals are flying back to the UK from Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the outbreak.

The flight is due to land at RAF Brize Norton at 13:30 GMT.

The UK passengers will then be taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral and quarantined for two weeks.

Hi @gindygoo , glad you are keeping well 

[gmarkj]

Reception and year 1 at daughter's school closed today due to lack of staff.
Not sure if she is in tomorrow/Friday - she was sent home with PE kit and some work.

Hi @jonsie I hope you're well.

Hah I've just ran out of data on my o2 sim 🙈😂 no more flipping updates on news. I think I'm actually relieved 😁😂

I can't remember the last time that actually happened! Strange times for sure.

Stay well, stay sane x

Hey @Anonymous how's you? I'm guessing well 😁😆. I hope so anyhoo.

I guess you might be lumbered with me a bit more as we all stay at home more. There's only so many fantasy/sci-fi books one can digest  😂😂
