Northern Ireland has confirmed its first case of the coronavirus, its Public Health Agency has said

One of the patients in England has been taken to the specialist infectious diseases centre at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and the other to the Royal Free Hospital in London.England's chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty, has warned that onward transmission between people in the UK was"just a matter of time in my view".

But he said onward transmission was likely, adding:"If it is something which is containable, the UK can contain it. If it is not containable, it will be non-containable everywhere and then it is coming our way." He said there could be a potential"social cost" if the virus intensifies, which could include reducing mass gatherings and closing schools.Dr Witty added:"One of the things that's really clear with this virus, much more so than flu, is that anything we do we're going to have to do for quite a long period of time, probably more than two months."This is something we face as really quite a serious problem for society potentially if this goes out of control.

The Britons are among 130 people from 11 different countries who can now leave the four-star H10 Costa Adeje Palace.
