A British man has become the third patient in the UK to die from coronavirus.
It is understood the man, who was aged in his sixties, had tested positive for virus after returning from Italy.
As reported by the Mirror, authorities announced on Sunday night that a man died at a hospital in Manchester.
Health bosses say he had "significant underlying health conditions".
Chief Medical Officer for England Professor Chris Whitty made the announcement, stating: "I am very sorry to report that a third patient in England who tested positive for COVID-19 has sadly died.
"I offer my sincere condolences to their family and friends and ask that their privacy is respected.
“The patient, who was being treated at the North Manchester General Hospital, was over 60 years old and had significant underlying health conditions.
"They had recently travelled from an affected area. Contact tracing is already underway.”
He is the youngest person to die from the virus on British soil; an 83-year-old man died in Milton Keynes died after returning home from a cruise and an elderly woman aged in her 70s died in Berkshire.
Over the weekend, a new coronavirus case has been confirmed in the NHS Lothian area, as the Scottish total rose to 16.
So far 1680 tests for the virus have been carried out north of the border, the vast majority of which have come back negative.
As well as two cases in Fife, there are now two patients who tested positive in the NHS Lothian area. The first was confirmed on Friday.
Speaking to the BBC's Politics Scotland on Sunday, Nicola Sturgeon said the figure was likely to go up further.
