Coronavirus in the UK

[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.

Countries are repatriating their citizens - Singapore is ferrying its citizens from UK currently, then next will come the repatriation flights from Eastern US...

Admission of known numbers of pax in each wave, to manage quarantine, and any impact on medical resources and ICUs.

Not saying that is what is happening here, but a quick check of Flightradar24 might reveal more.

They all look very British in that picture of Manchester airport.

Looks like flights to Paris, Sicily, Belfast, excluding the ones marked "Cancelled", @MI5

Not much point going to Paris or anywhere else in France for that matter.......

Dear Everyone,

Thank you all for your contributions and shared news on the Community. Reading them at time, when possible, it brought me more comfort, knowing that, apart of out family & friends, on the O2 platform, I have more friends.

Currently I am on leave ( hence saying hello here), to recharge my batteries, ready for going back to work mid-week, as a key/frontline worker in social settings.

Anyway, I would like to share if I may, that I found this app today, just developed by King's College and Biomedical research team, which is about self-reporting symptoms/how you feel, daily, as it will identify the risk people sooner and ultimately slow the spread of this dreadful virus!
