Five Britons have tested positive for coronavirus in eastern France, the French health minister confirmed.
Four adults and a child were diagnosed with the virus after coming into contact with a British national who recently returned from Singapore.
It is thought this man returned to the UK on 28 January before being diagnosed with the virus himself on Thursday.
The five Britons, who stayed in the same ski chalet, were not in a serious condition, French officials said.
The man who is believed to have infected them became the third case of coronavirus in the UK when he tested positive on his return to Brighton. There have been almost 35,000 cases globally, mostly in China.
