Coronavirus latest: Brits tested in Cambodia after other cruise hit with Covid-19 infection

It comes after the son of two British passengers on the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship who have reportedly tested positive for coronavirus said his parents are “not getting any communication” from the UK.
