Coronavirus: 11 more UK nationals to be flown back from China

Foreign secretary confirms evacuation as Philippines reports first death outside China

Dominic Raab has confirmed that 11 evacuees will be flown to the UK from the Chinese city at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, on a French-chartered plane, after they missed a previous evacuation flight on Friday.

The foreign secretary said the government was doing everything in its power to help Britons who wished to leave but that the process posed serious challenges.
