The epicenter of this outbreak, the city of Wuhan, has handed over the first of two temporary hospitals to the Chinese military medical team. The Huoshenshan hospital was finished in just nine days and has a capacity of 1,000 beds. Patients will begin arriving on February 3. Separately, the Chinese Air Force has carried out one of its biggest non-combat operations in a decade. Eight planes landed in Wuhan on February 2, with nearly 800 medical workers and 58 tonnes of supplies. Hundreds of military doctors had already gone to Wuhan, joining forces with thousands of other visiting medical staff.
