Coronavirus: What does being in quarantine mean?

"The UK has never transported back a large group of people from another country to put them in quarantine," says Dr Nathalie MacDermott, from King's College London.

She says quarantining works on several levels. It helps to keep the public calm and media attention to a minimum, while making sure the virus does not spread. As an alternative, people are often advised to"self-isolate" themselves - stay at home - if they are infectious.Doctors, nurses and screening experts may all be involved at various points.

More than 100 tests for coronavirus have been carried out in the UK so far and all of them have come back negative. If anyone on the plane does develop the virus, they will be given the best possible care and medical advice, according to the government.Tests for coronavirus involve taking samples from a person's nose, throat and deeper respiratory tract.Is protective clothing needed?A medic in a protective suit was spotted in Birmingham escorting a men suspected of having the virus to an ambulance on Tuesday.
