Chinese Embassy in UK refutes reports on student's death from coronavirus

The Chinese Embassy in the UK on Wednesday refuted false reports on a Chinese student's death in the UK due to coronavirus infection. 

Rumors said a Chinese student, who died from the infection, had asked to be hospitalized but didn't get any medical assistance while under home quarantine.  

The embassy said in a statement that they had not been notified of such a case from the relevent UK departments, urging overseas Chinese nationals to be rational and calm to protect themselves amid the coronavirus outbreak.
