Castle Medical Group in Ashby has issued a message to anyone who thinks they may be showing symptoms of Coronavirus NOT to attend the surgery.

The Burton Road centre has given the advice on their website this week and it features on their home page along with countries people may have visited and returned from recently.

The latest patient diagnosed with the disease in England is the first to catch it in the United Kingdom.

It is unclear whether this was directly or indirectly from someone who recently returned from abroad, England's chief medical officer said.

The man is from Surrey and had not been abroad recently himself.

It takes the total number of UK cases to 20.

Castle Medical Group is giving the following advice.
