Coronavirus: Third UK patient caught coronavirus 'outside China' - BBC News
The third person in the UK to be diagnosed with coronavirus did not catch it in mainland China, England's chief medical officer has said.
The patient, who caught the infection elsewhere in Asia, was diagnosed in Brighton, it is understood.
Prof Chris Whitty also said doctors will now test for suspected coronavirus in patients who have recently travelled from a range of Asian countries, which will be specified later.
There have been 28,256 cases worldwide.
Of these, 565 people have died but only two of these have been outside mainland China - one in Hong Kong and one in the Philippines.
