Mark Rumble, 31, from Oxfordshire, was sent back to the UK to face charges of a conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Rumble reportedly collapsed in his cell at HMP Bullingdon, close to Bicester on Monday, while a second inmate developed flu-like symptoms and a third other is also being tested for the illness.
Meanwhile, a prison nurse who first checked Rumble has put herself into 'self-isolation' at home, according to The Sun.
A total of 33 cases of the coronavirus, now named COVID-19, have been diagnosed in Thailand – it was the first country outside of China to declare cases, on January 13. In total, more than 1,100 people have died from the illness.
Hundreds of inmates have been confined to their cells tonight, with the prison gripped by panic.
Results from Rumble and the other potentially infected inmates are expected within 24 hours.
A source said: 'The entire wing is currently in lockdown and will be for the next 72 hours or so.
'That means that prisoners will remain in their cells for the duration and will be fed food on plates pushed through their door hatches.'
Another source said: 'The jail's been in panic mode since the first person collapsed.
