Third case of coronavirus came through british airways
According to recent reports, a third case of coronavirus has been confirmed in the UK, and it is believed to have been transmitted through a passenger who flew into the country on a British Airways flight.
The passenger, who has not been named, arrived at Heathrow Airport on a flight from China on January 20th. They were taken to a hospital in London for treatment and are currently in isolation.
This latest case brings the total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK to three. The first two cases were reported earlier this week, both of which were also linked to travel to China.
The UK government has been working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international partners to monitor the situation and take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.
In response to the outbreak, the UK has implemented enhanced screening measures at airports, including thermal imaging cameras and enhanced questioning of passengers arriving from affected areas.
Additionally, the UK government has advised against all but essential travel to China and has issued guidance for people returning from China to take precautions to reduce the risk of transmission.
It's worth noting that the risk of transmission of the coronavirus in the UK remains low, and the government is working to ensure that the public is kept safe.
