Hospital with 1,000 beds to be built in six days in Wuhan to tackle deadly coronavirus

A new hospital with 1,000 beds has started to be built in Wuhan on January 24 to tackle the deadly coronavirus outbreak.

The video shows hundreds of diggers working at the same time to build the 25,000-square-metre hospital.

According to reports, the local government will use the previous experience of building the Xiaotangshan hospital in Beijing in 2003 to deal with SARS.

Since the medical equipment needs some time to be installed and tested, the hospital is expected to be put into use on February 3.
