The first coronavirus patient in London travelled in an Uber to turn up unannounced at A&E department of a hospital.

She did not come into contact with other patients and two staff members have been asked to stay home for a period of 14 days, according to The Guardian.

Uber told Business Insider that the account of the driver who transported the woman was "temporarily suspended."

It's unlikely the driver could get the virus, but said the woman's actions went against advice by not calling an ambulance or using a private vehicle.
