A hospital in British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's west London constituency said it had closed to emergency patients after an outbreak of coronavirus.

The outbreak was declared last Friday at the Hillingdon Hospital. As of yesterday, 70 members of staff were self-isolating, "a number of whom" have tested positive for the virus, a spokesman for the NHS trust said. "As a result, the trust has taken the precautionary decision to close Hillingdon Hospital to emergency ambulances and emergency admissions," he said.

The British government has recorded more than 44,000 deaths in patients confirmed to have coronavirus, the highest toll in Europe, with official statistics showing the toll could be far higher.
