Chinese construction workers are labouring around the clock to build a new hospital to treat victims of the new coronavirus outbreak.
And they could have it finished within a week.
On Friday the city of Wuhan said it was building a hospital space for 1,300 beds, and shortly after that state media footage emerged of the project getting underway.
The hospital now being constructed will be modelled after the Xiaotangshan SARS hospital in Beijing, Wuhan authorities said in an earlier notice.
The specialised hospital was built from scratch in a week in 2003 during the deadly SARS outbreak. The hospital featured individual isolation units that looked like rows of tiny cabins.
