The government's emergency committee is being convened today to discuss the deadly coronavirus outbreak.

Senior ministers will attend but there are no confirmed cases of the virus in the UK, the prime minister's spokesman announced.

So far 26 people have died in China, with lockdowns of at least 10 cities in Hubei province ordered affecting 33 million people. Restrictions include the suspension of public transport services, while some cities have also shut public venues such as temples and cinemas.The World Health Organisation has declared the outbreak an emergency but said it was"too early" to consider it a"public health emergency of international concern" given"its restrictive and binary nature".

Health Secretary Matt Hancock cautioned yesterday that"there is an increased likelihood that cases may arise in this country" but insisted"we are well prepared and well equipped to deal with them".

If there's only 5-600 cases, why the hell do they need a whole damn hospital in 6 days They will probably pull it off as well. I wouldn't want to go in it though! Then..... problem solved by 'tofu' construction.
