It follows four more patients in England testing positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases in the UK to eight
A person admitted to a Kent hospital over fears they had contracted the deadly coronavirus is now not thought to have the condition.
A member of NHS staff said this morning (February 10) a patient had been held in isolation at Buckland Hospital in Dover.
But KentLive now understands this is not because of the coronavirus.
According to a source, the individual wasn’t presenting any coronavirus specific symptoms and will not be tested for the virus.
The scare follows four more patients in England testing positive for the condition, bringing the total number of cases in the UK to eight.
The four people infected are all known contacts of a businessman who was diagnosed in Brighton last week and who contracted the virus at a conference in Singapore.
The Department of Health said the four people newly-diagnosed contracted the virus in France.
It comes as the Government declared coronavirus a “serious and imminent threat to public health” as it introduced new powers to deal with the spread of the virus.
East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust have been approached for comment.
