But the Corona virus has now reached this picturesque ski resort high in the French Alps.

Proof this is no longer just China's problem.

Five Britons, one of them a child, have tested positive there on holiday in a shallow A in the town of Lake Conta.

Mean Mon Jaguar, being in close contact with another Briton.

It's thought that man contracted the virus on a three day visit to Singapore last month.

He then flew to the French Alps for a few days before returning to the U.

K his thought to be the first Briton to contract the disease and is now being treated in a London hospital theme.

Positive cases on the contacts this British national had with others, 11 British people in total were all staying in the same Shall A on were hospitalized during the night in three hospitals.

They're not in a serious condition.

Another Briton, Alan Steel, has tested positive while on honeymoon with his wife on board.

The Diamond Princess cruise liner is now in hospital in Japan.

His wife is still on board the ship.

Allen's goods, Um, like, say Japanese doctors are looking after him really, really well.

This house is fine on a cigar.

He's it.

Fits of them looks people.

We only have coughs due to the air con.

64 passengers have tested positive and are now in hospital.

The rest, more than three and 1/2 1000 are confined to their cabins.

A British passenger filmed on deck when he and his wife were allowed out for a walk.

He says that only happens once every four days.

I know this sounds really strange, but the thing that we both noticed is that our legs were aching because we haven't had that level of exercise.

You know, we haven't been able to walk anywhere at a distance being confined to the cabin In New Yorker, another British family is in the hospital isolation ward, awaiting the results of tests for the virus.

The Chinese authorities are still keen to promote an image of order.

This is one of the new hospitals built in a matter of days.

Patients with masks the calmly accompanied in for treatment, But 86 people died in the last 24 hours, according to official figures, the largest number in one day.

The death toll now at 723 according to the World Health Organization.

And on social media, the authorities seem anything but calm.

I don't have the money to buy a mask, this woman tells police officers.

As she's arrested, Argos dragged from their homes 150 Britain's air due to be flown home from Wuhan overnight.

They'll then be kept in quarantine for two weeks in Milton.

Keen's only three people have tested positive in the UK, and the World Health Organization says the spread of the disease remains slow outside China.

Jane Doe reporting well early aspect to Professor Trudy Laing, director of the Global Health Network of Oxford University, are started by asking her if she was concerned about the new infections in France.

It doesn't it doesn't.

I think it's We would have expected to see this sort of transmission on it ish, showing that we're seeing a person to person transmission beyond those people immediately coming from the center of the infection in China, but not to any sort of huge numbers.

And I suppose the good thing is it's that look how quickly it's been tracked, you know.

He was was diagnosed in last few days.

And then they found these cases in France that does it surprise you that there's such a vast discrepancy between the number of infections in China itself?

I'm in over 32,000 cases on then The real, very small number, comparatively in the rest of the world, is that unusual?

Well, everything's unusual because it said it's a new virus and so we were all watching and seeing how it unfolds.

I think that you know the numbers in China A carrying on at the same rate so far with the same level of mortality.

But we haven't seen such rapid transmission outside of China so far, which is very reassuring.

Do you think that we're overreacting, then?

I mean that the Chinese are overreacting.

Is shutting down entire cities, You know, the entire economy is goingto lock down at the moment.

You know, we're banning certain flights coming in from China.

Royal Caribbean Cruises has stopped anyone with a Chinese passport or Hong Kong parts, but from getting on one of their ships should be be more fate of the overreaction into the virus itself.

China's being incredibly responsible.

The whole eh, Mr is to hope transmission and isolate infected people and stop that person to person transmission.

And so the really difficult line to trade his hat, how far you go with, you know, shutting schools, stopping travel on.

And I think response in China is the portion it and then in other places of the world.

It has to be proportionate to the number of cases you know here in the UK that the risks of the individual is still reported to be to be low because it is, and so that the reaction needs to be portion it.

Andi turned that really difficult line between, you know, really stopping transmission is as effectively as possible by limiting people being near each other.

First is the economic impact of an overreaction.

It's alright, right?

In terms of dinner, comparing that to the general theme annual flu.

I mean, I think last year 13,800 people died in the United States of the flu.

So again you're comparing the numbers today off the novel Corona bars to the regular flu numbers.

You know, we're nowhere near that kind of seriousness in terms of the number of fatalities, the number of cases a reporting of our actual diagnose cases.

That is probably a far higher number, which would bring the mortality rate down further under 2% which gets much nearer the normal seasonal flu to go through a population.

And and I think so.

That's a really, really responsible insensible comparison to make on that note, Professor.

True Young thanks very much.
