Beijing

Wuhan authorities annouced that the new Corona Virus Outbreak Center in Hubei Province, China is closed today for another public facility that had been transferred to a temporary hospital, as the number of patients in the city continued to decline.

And Xinhua reported that the temporary Jianghan Hospital, which was transferred from the International Exhibition Center in Wuhan, brought the number of temporary hospitals that were closed to 14.

Wuhan resorted to converting public places, including exhibition centers and gyms to 16 hospitals temporarily, to treat patients with slight symptoms and isolate the source of infection.

About 12,000 patients have been treated in makeshift hospitals, according to the Corona Virus Control Center in the city, from which the dangerous virus began spreading in late December.

On Sunday, Wuhan recorded 36 new cases of the virus and 18 deaths.
