Hospitals designated for novel coronavirus patients in Wuhan resume normal operation

Patients queue to get medicines at Wuhan Union Hospital in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, March 16, 2020. Nearly two thirds departments of the hospital have resumed medical treatment for patients who suffer from other diseases so far. Hospitals designated for novel coronavirus patients in Wuhan will return to normal operation by the end of March, as the number of COVID-19 patients continues to drop. Those hospitals will be thoroughly disinfected after their missions of treating COVID-19 patients and will start taking patients of other diseases gradually. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan)
