Britain says it will forcibly quarantine those confirmed to have coronavirus

The U.K. Department of Health and Social Care said people with the virus can now be forcibly quarantined and will not be free to leave. It named two British specialist hospitals in London as isolation facilities for those affected: Guy's and St. Thomas' and The Royal Free in London. It also designated the Chinese city of Wuhan and the surrounding Hubei province where the virus first emerged as a “infected area.

It added that the changes were designed to ensure the health and safety of both patients and medical workers who came into contact with infected people. China on Monday said 908 people had died of the virus on the mainland and over 40,170 had been infected. More than 360 cases have been confirmed outside mainland China, including two deaths in Hong Kong and the Philippines.
