They should keep the new patient's wife in isolation, she might not have symptoms but could be carrying the coronavirus, hopefully not!
I hope this gentleman and all other people who shared dinner table get tested ASAP. Wishing all well! 💐

I am so incredibly touched by the compassion that other brits have for the carriers of the coronavirus, and the citizens of Wuhan. From the videos I have seen, they are so humble and get on with it. The most important thing which I hope to be true is that they are not in a state of panic.
