Chinese Doctor Who Raised Alarm on Coronavirus Dies in Hospital

Ophthalmologist Li Wenliang was among the first medics in Wuhan, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak, to warn the public about the spreading infection in December.

Chinese doctor Li Wenliang, infected with the novel coronavirus, has died at Wuhan Central Hospital, according to a message posted on the hospital’s official account on Weibo.com.

Earlier media reports said Dr Li, 34, was in critical condition and striving to survive the disease.

On hearing the news about the doctor being infected, tens of thousands of people turned to social media to express hopes for his recovery.

The novel coronavirus originated in Hubei province last December, with at least 560 fatalities and over 28,000 people infected in China so far. Outside China, one lethal case was registered in the Philippines.
