From the BBC

The latest positive test comes after England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, warned onward transmission of the virus between people in the UK was "just a matter of time".
He said if the outbreak intensifies, it may be necessary to close schools or stop mass gatherings of people for "quite a long period of time, probably more than two months".

Meanwhile, the Cabinet Office has been in communication with local authorities about their "mass death preparedness", BBC Newsnight understands. including where they might locate new - perhaps mass - burial sites.
If it gets into the U.K. as reported above airports will be closed down.
