All clear for 14 people tested in UK for Coronavirus but more checks are on the way

Cases of the virus have been confirmed in France

People in the UK face ongoing tests for coronavirus as the Chief Medical Officer for England said there is a "fair chance" Britain will see cases emerge.

Fourteen people were given the all-clear on Thursday but others are undergoing tests formulated by Public Health England, Professor Chris Whitty said.

It comes as the Department of Health confirmed that officials are trying to trace 2,000 people who have flown to the UK from Wuhan, China in the past few weeks, in order to check on their wellbeing.

Meanwhile the illness has reached Europe for the first time after three cases were confirmed in France on Friday evening.
