In the House of Commons, Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirmed that the amount of cases had jumped overnight to 51, warning things facing the united kingdom is 'increasingly serious' as fears grow of a crisis.
The new cases were scattered across London, Hampshire, Northamptonshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Humberside and Kent. Eight caught the virus in Italy – the others in Germany, Singapore, Japan and Iran.

Mr Johnson published the Government's action plan today and warned that a serious outbreak in Britain is now 'highly likely'. It could see police ignore low-level crime if coronavirus takes hold within the UK.
Troops might be deployed on the streets, infected patients who aren't affected by complications might be sent home from hospital, and non-urgent NHS operations might be cancelled to release space in overwhelmed hospitals.
The PM also revealed schools might be shut and youngsters allowed to try to to coursework and sit exams from their home to prevent the spread. But he maintained that this is able to only be worst-case scenario and said schools shouldn't close unless instructed to by Public Health England.
