17 minutes ago


The number of coronavirus cases in the UK has now reached 163, the government has confirmed.
It is a jump of 48 cases since Thursday - the biggest increase in one day. More than 20,000 people have been tested.

Meanwhile, samples taken from an elderly man who died at Milton Keynes Hospital are currently being investigated for coronavirus.

The BBC understands the man, in his 80s, had underlying health issues but more tests for the virus are ongoing.

The UK's first death linked to the virus came on Thursday, after a woman with underlying health conditions in her 70s died in hospital in Reading.
As well as her death in the UK, a British man also died from the virus last month after being infected on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off the coast of Japan.


The Department of Health said as of 9:00 GMT on Friday, 20,338 people had been tested.
The latest number of confirmed cases comprises 147 cases in England, 11 in Scotland, three in Northern Ireland and two in Wales.
