The daughter of a British man who may have been the first person outside China to die of coronavirus has accused Beijing of a cover-up.

Peter Attwood, from Chatham, Kent, began suffering a dry cough on December 28, days before China alerted the World Health Organisation about a "viral pneumonia" in 30 patients in Wuhan.

The 84-year-old's daughter Jane Buckland, who fell ill two weeks earlier, said it suggests the virus has "been around for much longer than we know", and it could have been spreading in the UK as early as November.

She has attacked Chinese officials, saying her dad and many other people who contracted the virus could still be alive if Beijing "hadn't lied to the rest of the world".
