It is understood the woman will be treated at London’s St Thomas’ Hospital
A woman who flew into London from China a few days ago is being treated for coronavirus, bringing the total number of UK cases to nine.
Chief medical officer Chris Whitty said the woman had been transferred to a specialist NHS centre at Guy’s and St Thomas’ in central London.
Sources say she developed symptoms after landing at Heathrow, called NHS 111 and then tested positive.
It comes after a senior official warned more UK cases were “highly likely”.
Prof Paul Cosford, from Public Health England, told the BBC his teams were doing their best to contain the spread.
Meanwhile, all 83 people being held in quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital in the Wirral have been told their final set of test results for the coronavirus have come back as negative, confirming they are all free of the virus.
It is expected they will be free to leave the accommodation on Thursday morning having spent two weeks there in quarantine.
Earlier, British man Steve Walsh, linked to 11 cases, left hospital having fully recovered.
A total of 1,750 people have tested negative for the virus in the UK.
