Reports of a third patient testing positive for the coronavirus in the UK have turned out to be a false alarm. A Chinese soldier from Shanghai was reportedly being cared for at the Manor Hospital, Walsall, West Midlands. It was thought he had arrived at the hospital on Friday or in the early hours of Saturday, with a source claiming he had coronavirus. The man would have been the third person in the UK to test positive for the coronavirus, after two people from York. But tensions on the campus were evident in a Facebook post and email from ten days ago that raised concerns about a Chinese student with 'a fever'.
