The man at the center of the main outbreak in the U.

K Steve Walsh, a businessman from East Sussex, has now been discharged from hospital.

After being given the all clear, he caught the virus on a business trip to Singapore.

The World Health Organization says the number of new infections in China is stabilizing, but it's too early to say if the epidemic is past its peak.

Our health editor, Hugh Pym, has more details.

Tonight it's and Thomas's Hospital in central London.

The ninth patient with Corona virus in the UK is being treated.

A woman who flew into Heathrow from China recently.

She didn't have any symptoms when she arrived.

Another patient, meanwhile, was leaving the same hospital.

Steve Walsh, after a full recovery from the virus on no longer contagious.

According to the N.

H s, he'd contracted it in Singapore and then unwittingly infected 11 others.

One of them is a GP who worked two days last week at Worthing Hospital that doctors know being treated in isolation elsewhere, the hospital still running.

But some patients are concerned.

My husband, my son over to any on Friday night on.

I just want to check that my son didn't come into contact with the health worker because you just never know d.

A.

I think everyone's kind of king, and I think there needs to be more in the media Thio to say, Don't panic, you know, yet it's serious, but we're dealing with it.

Some local parents have asked to take their Children out of school, say to people.

I asked Public Health, England if they could reassure people in Brighton and Worthing.

There is not a general risk to people either in schools or in any other kind of facilities, that just because there happens to have been somebody with this infection in that area, so I can reassure on that point if Children need to be out of school, that's because we've told them the latest case means they're a nine in the UK While more than 1700 people have tested negative here, there are more than 44 a half 1000 confirmed cases in China on around 1100 deaths.

At the moment, it's still entirely possible that we may be in a position where the Chinese authorities managed to get on top of this infection.

The biggest risk to us is actually if the efforts in mainland China don't succeed in maintaining the infection and restricting it to China and if many other countries then have widespread outbreaks of infection.

Meanwhile, people quarantined at Arrow Park Hospital in World will tomorrow complete their 14 day isolation.

I'm very, very pleased to announce that each and every one of us the 83 people that were on that first evacuation flights from Wuhan have tested negative for Corona virus, So we're coming home.

Government sources say there's no reason for public concern about people leaving quarantine on have appealed for their privacy to be respected.

Cuban BBC News Well at the World Health Organization in Geneva, doctors, scientists and global health experts have been discussing their approach to the Corona virus outbreak.

We can talk to our global health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar, who's there for us to look, given the news from China possible stabilization off figures there.

What conclusions have been drawn there in Geneva?

Well, scientists here of the last two days have been really poring over all the data that's been coming in from the start of this outbreak.

They are saying, and it's very early days that it looks like the outbreak could be stabilizing.

But that is just a snapshot of what's been happening over the last seven days, and that could change at any time.

But it is at least a positive trend for the moment, and the World Health Organization has talked about how this creates a window off opportunity to, as it calls it, hammer this virus over the coming days and weeks.

And that's what we've seen scientists really trying to get to the nub off here.

They are trying to prioritize what research needs to happen, what needs to happen to make sure that this outbreak doesn't become a global pandemic.

What they say urgently needs to happen.

One of the first priorities is coming up with a better diagnostic test.

At the moment, you've gotta send samples off to a lab, they come back.

It takes time.

What doctors in China said they urgently need is a test that you can do in someone's home or in the local health center, and you can get the results very quickly.

The other thing that scientists are looking at is how effective these quite extreme measures that we've seen in China of quarantining entire cities actually is.

It hasn't been done on this scale ever before.

Early evidence suggests that it has actually been quite effective.

But this is an outbreak of firsts, and scientists are continuing to learn new things about it every single day.

Do you live?

Many thanks again to live under there with the latest in Geneva.
