Iceland confirms first case

We've just spoken to an official at Iceland's health directorate who confirmed that the country has recorded its first coronavirus case.

The official was not able to offer further details, but local media reports say the patient is a man in his 50s who had been in Italy.

The man is said to be showing "typical symptoms" of the virus, and is being kept in isolation.

Efforts are underway to find out who else might have been exposed to the virus.
