More Brits being tested for Coronovirus

It follows an elderly woman being diagnosed on a cruise ship docked in Cambodia.

Britons are being tested for coronavirus in Cambodia after leaving a cruise ship where an elderly woman was diagnosed with the illness, the Foreign Office has confirmed.

Passengers disembarked from the Holland America Westerdam ship on Friday, and hundreds have undergone testing for the virus.

It is unclear how many Britons were on board, but the Foreign Office said it is in contact with British nationals in Cambodia who were on the ship.

The Westerdam cruise liner remains in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "Our staff are providing consular assistance to British nationals in Cambodia who have travelled on the Westerdam cruise ship and are working with the operator to establish contact with those who have recently disembarked.

"We encourage all British nationals who require consular support to contact us on +44 20 7008 1500."
