Dr Jenny Harries said experts are assessing new cases on an hourly basis to achieve a “balanced response”.

It comes as a man in his early 80s became the sixth person with the virus to die in the UK.

Meanwhile, many airlines cut thousands of flights, including to and from Italy, in the wake of the outbreak.

According to the latest figures, there were 373 confirmed cases as of 09:00 GMT on Tuesday. Of them, 324 are in England.

Northern Ireland announced four more cases, bringing its total to 16, and Scotland confirmed another four cases, increasing its number to 27.

The latest death happened on Monday evening and was a man with underlying health conditions who was being looked after at Watford General Hospital, the West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust said.

He caught the virus in the UK and officials are trying to trace who he was in contact with, the country’s chief medical adviser Prof Chris Whitty said.
