Five British family members, including the first child patient, have been diagnosed with coronavirus in France.
The patients were taken to hospitals in Lyon, Saint-Etienne and Grenoble on Friday night and were in a stable condition in isolation, according to health officials.
The five were infected by a middle-aged British family member who caught the virus at a business conference in Singapore and stopped in Contamines-Montjoie, in the French Alps, on January 24 before travelling back to the UK.
They all stayed in the same ski chalet.
French Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said a UK citizen "recently arrived on a flight from Singapore" and had passed the potentially deadly virus to four adults and a child, Mirror.co.uk reports.
All are all in the eastern Haute-Savoie Alpine region of south-eastern France.
Ms Buzyn said the unnamed patients were in a "stable condition" and they were being monitored constantly.
She added: "Their clinical condition shows no sign of seriousness."
Three people in Britain and a UK honeymooner on a cruise ship in Asia have tested positive for coronavirus since the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December and spread around the world.
That figure includes the man who felt unwell after returning from Singapore, where he had visited between January 20 and 23, and then went to a hospital in Brighton.
The man called NHS 111 from home and then went by arrangement to an isolation facility at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
After being tested there he was sent home, where he self-isolated until the result came back positive.
He was then transported to St Thomas's Hospital in south London for specialist treatment.
The other two cases in the UK are Chinese nationals who are being treated at an infectious diseases unit at Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.
One is a University of York student and the other is a relative.
They tested positive after falling ill at the Staycity apartment-hotel in York.
Lorry driver Alan Steele, from Wolverhampton, tested positive on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which has been quarantined at a port in Yokohama, Japan.
At least 61 passengers and crew have caught the virus.
Mr Steele, 58, and his wife, Wendy Marshall Steele, 51, were on their honeymoon when the vessel was hit by the outbreak.
He has been taken to hospital and his wife has said he could be released within days if further tests come back negative.
Mr Steele wrote on Facebook that he hasn't shown any symptoms.
If he is discharged, he will not be allowed back on board the cruise ship, where his wife and 3,700 others will remain trapped until at least February 19, when a two-week quarantine is due to end.
In Spain, a British couple and their two daughters were put in isolation in a hospital in Mallorca as possible coronavirus cases after coming into contact with a person who recently tested positive in France.
The father was admitted when he went to the hospital and told staff he had been in contact with someone who had tested positive for the virus, Diario de Mallorca reported.
His wife and daughters were then transported to the hospital to be tested.
Ms Buzyn, the French health minister who was speaking at a press conference in Paris, said Prime Minister Edouard Philippe would be holding an emergency meeting later on Saturday.
On Sunday, 40 French citizens are to be repatriated from China, where more than 700 people have been killed by the virus and 34,000 cases have been detected.
The total number of people infected with the virus in France has now reached 11.
It is believed the virus was passed to humans at a market in Wuhan where live animals and illegal wildlife were being sold.
