A man was escorted off a flight at Dublin Airport last night after showing signs of coronavirus.

Passengers on board a flight from Moscow say they were kept on the plane for two hours whilst medics in hazmat suits took the man off the aircraft.

The HSE say they have 'protocol in place' to activate any plan at ports of entry into Ireland.

The disease has killed over 250 people so far, while 83 people are already in quarantine in the UK, including three Irish citizens.
