However it's now feared that the virus could have spread to the British Isles after it emerged that four people in Scotland were being treated for symptoms of the deadly virus.

Three of the suspected cases were in Edinburgh, while the other is believed to be in Glasgow.

All four patients recently returned form Wuhan, the source of the outbreak.

It is not yet known which hospitals are treating them, though Prof Juergen Haas, head of infection medicine at Edinburgh University, said it was "very likely" that cases would be confirmed in the UK.
