Seems like a reasonable containment precautionary measure, although I think the American press are labelling Trump a racist for doing the same.

I had the same from my GP last week.
I also work within the NHS and am receiving daily updates/alerts.

We havent detected an outbreak yet. The range of time between having an outbreak and detecting it is somewhat variable, so I can make no claims about whether we have one already, more than one, or how large they are, in anything approaching a timely fashion. But I would go as far as to say that I'd consider it surprising if we dont already have community spread.

Given the time it takes to detect it and/or develop symptoms I agree.
News tonight reporting 1st known case of contagion through contact with someone here in the UK who is infected.. No way of knowing that is the only case, seems odd to think it will be.

Yeah, they wont really treat it as if its an isolated case, its exactly what they are looking for to give them confirmation of community spread.
They will still want to find more examples to really underline the confirmation, and further contact tracing or luck can always turn unlinked cases like this one into a small known local cluster, rather than sentinels for the broader 'sustained wider community spread'. Its still the first confirmed human->human transmission in the UK though, whether they nail it down to a cluster or not.

People are still moving about from places where it's rife to places where it ain't. Funnily enough that's spreading it.

From what I hear it wouldn't be a bad idea to get extra pasta and tins in.

I don't get the point of the video.
There is a problem here. If the schools are closed (really?), there will be a terrible plague of noisy squawking children. Everywhere! At all tImes. Eek!
