New images show that a hospital being built in China to treat victims of the new strain of coronavirus has almost been completed after just six days.
Thousands of labourers have been working round the clock to complete the new building in Wuhan, which will be used in a bid to stop the spread of the deadly virus. It will open to patients on 3 February – just 12 days after work began.
More than 4,000 workers and 1,000 vehicles have been used to build the Huoshenshan Hospital which is in the city that is thought to be the virus’ ground zero.
Aerial shots show the progress made in just over one week, with all the drainage completed and the hospital looking almost finished. The site, which was first supposed to be a holiday park, has been thrown up with pre-fabricated pieces for speed and efficiency.
Another medical centre was opened yesterday – just 48 hours after it was started. Workers and volunteers in Huanggang City managed to put the work in to get the doors open on the Dabie Mountain Regional Medical Centre, which will provide treatment for around 1,000 patients, in just 48 hours.
