China has reportedly deployed 40 industrial incinerators to the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak Wuhan.
Chinese media reports that the furnaces have been shipped to the city amid ongoing fears the death toll is being covered up.
NTD reports that the cabins are for the disposal of animal carcasses, while China Ship news reports the incinerators are for medical waste.
Wuhan has been at the centre of the global epidemic which has infected more than 75,000 people and killed more than 2,000.
It is believed the virus spread from bats to other animals in the so-called “wet markets” in the city before being passed to humans.
Sources quoted in Chinese media raise questions over whether or not the incinerators are for animals, or will be used to dispose of human remains.
The mobile incinerators can reportedly destroy up to five tons of waste every single day – and can burn its load in as little as two seconds.
Reportedly the cabin is the size of a 20-foot standard container and has a volume of about 30 cubic meters.
It reportedly has the ability to crush solid waste, then incinerate it, and then purify the smoke.
Reportedly the incinerators have been sanctioned for the use by the Chinese military after a test in Golmud, Qinghai in January.
