<p>The Sunday Telegraph said senior NHS managers have been told that the service will stop testing for the strain known as Covid-19 “once around 100 cases have been confirmed” across Britain.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Eight of the nine people diagnosed with the virus in the UK have since left hospital after two negative tests for Covid-19, with the paper reporting hospitals have in the last week made “isolation pods” to keep those being tested away from other patients.</p>
<p>If the number of cases rises significantly those with coughs and colds may have to stay home to limit the chance of the outbreak spreading.</p>
<p>The Department of Health and Social Care did not comment when asked about the self-isolation direction.</p>
<p>As of Saturday, 2,992 people in the UK have been tested with 2,983 confirmed as negative and nine positive, the department said.</p>
<p>Earlier, an NHS spokesman said all 94 people in quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral had been released.</p>
<p>They had been kept in isolation at the hospital after returning to the UK from China – the centre of the outbreak.</p>
<p>More than 100 people remain at the Kents Hill Park Hotel in Milton Keynes, the NHS added.</p>
<p>Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “I am also pleased that eight of the nine individuals who tested positive for coronavirus have now been successfully treated and discharged from hospital.</p>
<p>“I want to stress that any individuals who are discharged from hospital are now well and do not pose any public health risk to the public.”</p>
<p>“Again, this is evidence of how well prepared our NHS is to deal with the Wuhan coronavirus.</p>

<p>The NHS also received praise from Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in The Sunday Telegraph, where he described it as a “centre of excellence”.</p>
<p>Mr Raab added that the UK played its “key role” through training “rapid response teams” and local medics to fight the virus in Asia and Africa, investing £40m in vaccine and virus research, and donating £5-million to a World Health Organisation appeal.</p>
<p>The “emerging crisis” of the outbreak also led Mr Raab to praise “co-operation abroad” as “the answer to tackling coronavirus”.</p>
<p>“No single country can overcome, or fully defend against the threat that coronavirus presents,” he wrote.</p>
<p>“The international community must work together.”</p>
<p>His column followed the confirmation in France of the first death from the virus outside Asia.</p>
<blockquote><p>This is evidence of how well prepared our NHS is to deal with the Wuhan coronavirus</p></blockquote>
<p>French Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said an elderly Chinese tourist had become the first death to the virus in Europe, Reuters reported on Saturday.</p>
<p>The patient, a Chinese tourist from the province of Hubei who had arrived in France on January 16, had a lung infection caused by the virus.</p>
<p>In mainland China, the death toll from Covid-19 passed 1,600 after health authorities reported another 142 deaths early on Saturday morning.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>That increase saw the total reach 1,665 deaths.</p>
<p>However, authorities also said the latest 2,009 daily new cases of the virus had fallen for the third straight day.</p>
<p>The total number of confirmed cases globally now stands at more than 68,000.</p>
