China has ramped up efforts to contain the illness, which has so far killed 26 people and infected almost 900 worldwide, suspending public transport in 10 cities, closing temples over the Lunar New Year, and working flat-out to build a hospital to treat people who have been infected. Wuhan and two other cities in Hubei province are currently on lockdown. Online footage has shown people with the virus being treated next to dead bodies.
In what has been named a “huge hygiene crisis”, one Chinese resident filmed the inside of Wuhan hospital which was previously posted on Weibo.
A reporter wrote on Twitter: “Huge public hygiene crisis seems to have erupted in Wuhan.
This video clip was once posted on Weibo but now deleted.
“The lady in the clip says dead bodies were left at hospital aisles untreated whereas doctors are taking care of other patients alongside them.”
China has been accused of covering up the true scale of the coronavirus crisis, which has already affected a suspected 1,000 people across the globe.
Ten cities, including Wuhan, have been placed in lockdown with nobody allowed to enter or leave.
This is an attempt by Chinese officials to limit the spread of the disease, which has left more than 25 dead.
However, Wuhan Railway posted and then deleted a social media post claiming 300,000 people left the city on Wednesday ahead of the travel ban, according to the Washington Post.
