He on Tuesday detected 36 new cases of nCoV, triple the previous daily increase, bringing the total number of cases to 87.

Most recent patients have recently come to an epidemic area or come into contact with someone who has been confirmed to be infected with nCoV, Chief Medical Advisor for the British government Chris Whitty said on March 4 in London. However, officials have not identified the source of infection of the three patients and this is a sign that nCoV is spreading in the UK community.

"It is true that you should be worried and prepared to deal but not to panic. The number of cases is still small compared to the UK population and the outbreak control strategy is generally effective," said Stephen Griffin, associate professor University of Leeds professor, March 4 told the Telegraph.

He has not recorded any deaths due to nCoV. Out of 87 patients with nCoV infection, 8 recovered. He has developed coping plans in the widespread epidemic scenario, including deploying troops to support emergency response and dispatching retired staff from the National Health Agency to assist. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the parliament on Tuesday that an "emergency law" would be put in place to ensure people who are forced to leave work because nCoV will still get paid.

Covid-19 appears in 84 countries and territories with more than 95,000 cases, more than 3,200 deaths and more than 51,400 recover. Slovenia, Hungary and Poland are the latest countries to record outbreaks.
