It took China just five days to complete a 1500-room hospital for Covid-19 patients, following a surge in infections in a city south of Beijing, state media reported.
The hospital is one of six with a total of 6500 rooms being built in Nangong, in Hebei province, the Xinhua News Agency said. All are due to be completed within the next week.
China, which largely contained the spread of the coronavirus, has suffered hundreds of infections this month in Nangong and the Hebei provincial capital of Shijiazhuang, southwest of the Chinese capital.
