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.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51325192
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.

My carer went to the local Asda for me this morning to get me a couple of loaves and milk and she said it was total mayhem and chaos. All the major stores should be open for the elderly and their carers for two hours each morning.
Of course that won't work if stocks aren't replenished or RESERVED overnight!
Another good point @jonsie
Supermarkets definitely need to reserve essential items in store - for elderly and carers; and for home deliveries for those in self-isolation.
btw - one small thing I didn`t mention about my carer who did the shopping.
My usual carer who does my shopping is away [holiday - not virus], so had a new one today.
Although she has been a carer [with another care company] for four years, this is only her second week with my care company and today was the first time she had ever done shopping call [and this was for the three of us clients] - so must have been dreadful to face that.

Isolation of my whole family started today. ( I put the wheels in motion on Sunday for myself )
Although fit and"healthy" , I'm in the very high risk group. My wife has started working from home and my kids are now at home from school.
Unfortunately there had been absolutely no communication from my own work at all. I took the initiative and told them it was a necessity. I have been "online training" atm as they are not sure what to do with me. Hopefully get an answer shortly. If it's SSP for 3 months, we will be in serious trouble.
Be well everyone. X.

Asda isn't one of the supermarkets who have announced they will open stores earlier for elderly and infirm.
My online shop this morning was a joke. I booked the slot 2 weeks ago and put £50 of goods in to ensure the slot was kept.
When I went online last night to amend my order and add more items, I was amazed to find half of those I had booked were 'out of stock'.
So a major retailer like Asda, who have new stock allocated overnight, seemed determined that I would NOT get a 4 pk of toilet rolls?
Total waste of time.
