<p>The Japanese Ministry of Health said the man was the sixth person from ship, which has been quarantined off the country’s coast, to have died.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>He is the first Briton to have died from coronavirus, also known as Covid-19.</p>
<p>In the UK, 19 people have been diagnosed with the illness.</p>
<p>On Friday, Wales reported its first patient with the virus and two more sufferers were identified in England.</p>
<p>The patient in Wales had recently travelled back from Italy, the worst-affected country in Europe.</p>
<p>Those identified in England had recently travelled back from Iran, the Department for Health said. The virus has spread rapidly across Iran – with 22 dead amid 141 cases confirmed.</p>
<p>So far, China has reported nearly 80,000 cases and almost 3,000 deaths, while the virus has reached nearly 60 countries with more than 80 deaths.</p>
<p>UK Health Minister Jo Churchill has said she was aware a British man who had been onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship was “very poorly”.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>She told BBC Radio 4’s World At One programme: “The Foreign Office are supporting the family of a British man who has been very poorly and was a passenger on board the Diamond Princess.</p>
<p>“I haven’t had confirmation, because obviously I’m on the telephone to you, but I was aware there was a gentleman who was very, very poorly, and I’m sure like me your thoughts and sympathies go out to his family at this time.”</p>
