On February 3 and 5, two hospitals built in less than 15 days are due to open in the Chinese city of Wuhan, home of the supposed origin of the coronavirus epidemic. These establishments, emerging from the ground at a staggering speed, will relieve the other hospitals in the city, overwhelmed by the influx of patients, and who have already reserved 4,000 beds for infected patients.
They will receive a good part of sick or symptomatic patients. To achieve this feat, the Chinese government used great resources: four construction companies were contacted and hundreds of workers mobilized.
