Two people in England have been diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus.
The patients are members of the same family and are the first English people to be diagnosed with it on British soil.
Until today, at least 161 people had tested negative for the virus but none had been diagnosed with it.
The infection makes England the 23rd country or territory outside of China to declare the infection has spread there.
The Department of Health said it would not reveal any details of who the patients are or where they are being looked after.
It did, however, confirm that they are not in Wirral, Merseyside, where people being evacuated from the centre of the outbreak will be quarantined later today
