It comes after a British man was diagnosed with the virus in Majorca and a plane carrying 200 Wuhan evacuees arrived in the UK.
Another patient has tested positive for coronavirus in England, bringing the total number of UK cases to four, the chief medical officer has said.
The individual had also been to the French Alps where another five Britons contracted the virus from a British man who caught the illness in Singapore.
Professor Chris Whitty said the new case is a known contact of a previously confirmed UK case and the virus was passed on in France.
He said: “Experts at Public Health England continue to work hard tracing patient contacts from the UK cases. They successfully identified this individual and ensured the appropriate support was provided.
“The patient has been transferred to a specialist NHS centre at The Royal Free Hospital, and we are now using robust infection control measures to prevent any possible further spread of the virus.”
Mr Whitty added that the NHS is “extremely well prepared” to manage the virus cases and treat them.
It also emerged on Sunday that a British man tested positive for coronavirus in Majorca, according to Spain’s National Centre for Microbiology.
