China is set to open a new hospital in the city at the epicentre of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, as the numbers of people infected continue to grow.
Wuhan's 1,000-bed Huoshenshan Hospital, built in just eight days, is one of two dedicated facilities being constructed to help tackle the outbreak.
China is struggling to deal with the virus, which has infected more than 14,000 people and killed more than 300.
Sunday saw the first confirmed fatality outside China, in the Philippines.
The patient was a 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan who appeared to have been infected before arriving in the Philippines.
There have now been more than 150 confirmed cases of the virus outside China.
Many countries have barred foreigners arriving from China and are quarantining their own citizens.
