Scientists have sequenced the infection's full genome
A second case of a new respiratory illness similar to the deadly Sars virus has been identified in the UK.
The patient, who is receiving intensive care treatment in a Manchester hospital, had recently travelled to the Middle East and Pakistan.
Doctors insist the risk of the new coronavirus spreading to the general UK population is "extremely low" and the situation is being closely monitored.
The total number of confirmed cases globally now stands at 10.
