Coronavirus started its destruction at the end of last year in Wuhan province and till now there are six doctors from Wuhan Central Hospital who lost their lives due to COVID-19.

After seeing the peak in coronavirus cases in March, China finally managed to control the outbreak.
China has 1.4 billion population and managing these people having a virus is unthinkable. Authorities along with other departments worked tirelessly to stop the virus at 83,040 cases and fatalities count 4,634. At the moment there are only 65 active cases and among them, only 1 patient is in critical condition.
Doctor Hu’s skin turned black after the liver damage, his colleague Doctor Yi Fan was also exposed to similar conditions but recovered from it and also discharged from hospital.
