The number of confirmed

cases of coronavirus in the UK

reached 87 yesterday in the

biggest increase in a single day

so far. Thirty-three of the 36

new patients had either

travelled to affected countries

or been infected by others who

had, according to the chief

medical officer. Senior

doctors warned the health

service would struggle to cope

with an influx of cases.

Meanwhile, the struggling

airline Flybe collapsed last

night, partly due to low

demand after the outbreak.
