A temporary hospital in Wuhan's Qiaokou district suspended operation on Sunday after all its patients were either discharged or moved to other hospitals. 

It becomes the first temporary hospital that stops receiving coronavirus patients, local media Changjiang Daily reported.

A total of 34 patients were discharged from the makeshift hospital on Sunday and another 76 patients will be transferred to two other medical units.

The recovered patients can go home after a 14-day quarantine at a designated place.

The hospital started admitting patients from February 11. Since then, it has received 330 patients. 232 of them have been discharged from hospital.

In another temporary hospital, "Wuhan Livingroom" hospital, 132 cured patients were discharged on Sunday, the highest number in a day by far.

There are still over 700 patients in the 1,500-bed hospital. So far, the hospital has handled a total of 1,760 patients. 587 of them were discharged after recovery.
