Five British people have tested positive for coronavirus in France. The four adults and a child were diagnosed after they came into contact with a British national who recently returned from Singapore, the French health ministry said. The five British nationals, who are not in a serious condition, were staying in the Alpine resort area of Contamines-Montjoie near Mont Blanc. The confirmed cases in France came as a British honeymooner transferred from the cruise liner Diamond Princess to hospital in Japan with the coronavirus was said to be feeling well and in good spirits. Meanwhile, a British family of four is reportedly being tested in Majorca after coming into contact with a coronavirus carrier.
