Were you on any of the flights this morning?

Passengers endured hours of misery at Heathrow Airport this morning when up to eight planes were placed on lockdown over coronavirus fears after passengers on board complained of symptoms of the deadly virus.

MailOnline understands a British Airways flight from Kuala Lumpur was delayed on the tarmac for 2 hours when it landed at 6.45am after cabin crew grew concerned a Malaysian family 'of around eight' may need the contagious infection, now named SARS-CoV-2.

One passenger on the plane said that doctors in protective gowns and face masks came on board the BA34 flight and found out a screen round the family before evacuating everyone off the plane row by row.

However, airport sources dispute the length of the delay and say just one customer was suspected of getting the contagious virus and was attended on board.

Separately, travellers on the United Airlines Flight 901 from San Francisco were told by the captain to remain in their seats after landing at 9.04am because there was a suspected coronavirus sufferer on board.

Andy West, from Henley-on-Thames, who was on the United plane, told MailOnline passengers were warned by the pilot that they might get on the tarmac for a short time because 'seven other planes' also had suspected cases.

He revealed staff on the flight took a passenger to the rear of the plane without wearing any protective gear or face masks and waited for health officials in hazmat suits to return . Everyone was eventually allowed to disembark half-an-hour later.

The airport chaos illustrates the increasing disruption the virus is causing for travellers round the world, even where the danger of genuine infections is considerably less than it's within the Far East .

Public Health England and Heathrow officials have thus far refused to release any information about this morning's incident, which can have affected many travellers. But United Airlines, a US company, confirmed someone 'became unwell' on board on the San Francisco flight.

The UK has been on alert for more cases after the capital confirmed its first patient on Wednesday and it emerged another patient had been to a transport conference before being diagnosed.
