A British man managed to pass on the coronavirus to at least 11 other people without ever setting foot in the epicentre of the outbreak in China, in an infectious journey that shows how the deadly virus can spread rapidly around a globalised world.

On February 6, he was transferred to the infectious diseases unit at the hospital of St Thomas in London. A medical centre in Brighton said on Monday it had temporarily closed for “an urgent operational health and safety reason”.said one of the centre’s staff members had tested positive for the virus, although this was not officially confirmed.Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said on February 8 that five British nationals, including a child, who stayed at the chalet with the man had tested positive.“They show no serious signs” of those infected having any threat to their lives, added Buzyn.

Similar efforts have been made to track down passengers who took a flight from Geneva — the closest large airport to Contamines-Montjoie — with the man when he went back to Britain on January 28.One member of the group he stayed with in France then sought medical help after returning to his home in Mallorca. The contamination took place between January 25 and January 29, according to the Spanish authorities.
