France has confirmed the first three cases of coronavirus in Europe: two cases in Paris and one in Bordeaux, SIA reports.

Two of the people affected are family members. All three had been to China recently. They have been hospitalised and are currently isolated, the health ministry confirmed.It's likely there are other cases in Europe, France's health minister Agnès Buzyn told reporters, as she warned people who have travelled to China to avoid going to emergency rooms in the case that they have symptoms. "It’s in emergency rooms in reality that people risk being in contact with others," Buzyn told reporters.

People should instead call France's health service so that emergency workers can help them and isolate them from other people.

It comes after China put as many as 36 million people on lockdown across 13 cities.The death toll stands at 26. Hundreds of cases have been confirmed in China, with South Korea and Japan both announcing second cases and Singapore two more for a total of three.
