Concern grows over Coronavirus
The latest patient diagnosed with the coronavirus in England is the first to catch it in the UK.
It is unclear whether this was directly or indirectly from someone who recently returned from abroad, England's chief medical officer said.
The man is a resident of Surrey who had not been abroad recently himself.
It takes the total number of UK cases to 20 and comes after a British man in his 70s became the first UK citizen to die from the virus.
