[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.

deleted by me - in respect of UK death toll from Covid-19

[Cleoriff]

More than 1000 people in the UK have now died of Covid 19. A stark warning on the news that the worst is yet to come.

The experts say we will be lucky if deaths are less than 10,000 by the time this ends.
