Over 6,000 medical workers dispatched to aid Hubei's coronavirus control efforts

Over 50 medical teams with over 6,000 workers have been dispatched to support Hubei's coronavirus control program, the province's party secretary Jiang Chaoliang told media a news conference on Thursday.

Sample detection capability for the coronavirus has now increased from 200 per day to over 4,000, which greatly contributes to current work in screening suspected cases, said Jiang. 

The government is planning to bring locals who are staying in other provinces back home, according to the official.
