Описание: Health Secretary Matt Hancock has defended the government's decision to urge all Britons in China to return home after the move faced criticism from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

On Tuesday, British nationals in the coronavirus-hit country were advised to "leave if they can" by the UK authorities.

Mr Hancock defended the guidance, despite criticism from the WHO, and said the government has not ruled out the possibility of the UK closing its borders to people returning from China in a bid to stop the coronavirus from spreading.
