UK WUHAN FLIGHT NOT YET APPROVED

The UK has been unable to provide a flight out of Wuhan in China as planned, carrying around 200 Britons.

London says it has not yet secured permission from China for the evacuation.

The UK Foreign Office says it hopes a flight can be organized 'as soon as possible'.

There are plans in place to quarantine British nationals who've been in Wuhan, once they return to the UK.

Briton John Reid, who lives in Wuhan, says he is one of the cases of coronavirus that's already been recorded in China.
