A journalist asks questions at a press conference held by the National Health Commission in Beijing, capital of China, Jan. 28, 2020. Wuhan, at the center of a viral pneumonia outbreak, will soon have 10,000 hospital beds reserved for infected patients as Chinese authorities take all means necessary to boost the city's overwhelmed health system. Jiao Yahui, an official with the National Health Commission, told a press conference held in Beijing on Tuesday that authorities have been designating over 5,300 beds in various hospitals in Wuhan to be used for novel coronavirus patients. And about 6,000 more will be added in the next phase. (Xinhua/Zhang Yuwei)
