中国东部的一家酒店被用作冠状病毒隔离设施,于3月7日倒闭,至少吸引了70人。根据3月8日的媒体报道,至少有10人死亡。

Opened in June 2018, the 80-room Xinjia Hotel in the port city of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, had recently begun housing people who had been in contact with confirmed coronavirus patients, according to state media. The building was constructed in 2013 and converted to a hotel in 2018. Renovation work had been underway on the building's first floor since January. Per Xinhua news agency, the owner had been alerted to a distorted pillar in the building about 30 minutes before the collapse

没有宣布崩溃的理由,官员们也没有确认事件导致任何死亡。

视频from the scene indicate that the glass façade and interior floors had fallen, with the upper portion of the building’s steel frame warped but otherwise erect. Witnesses also reported hearing a loud noise as the collapse began, around 7:30 pm local time.

据媒体报道,在救援工作的头几个小时内,已有40多人被救出,其中包括数十名消防员,医疗和救援人员以及起重机和挖掘机。

人口为800万的Quanzhou距离武汉约600英里,冠状病毒爆发于12月出现。福建省政府的记录仅少于300例冠状病毒,其中约有50例在Quanzhou。尽管何时将Xinjia Hotel重新使用到目前的使用何时,但该省的近11,000人被归类为与被诊断出患有冠状病毒的人的密切接触后,已被观察到。

该病毒受到了尤其严重的打击,确认了80,600多例病例和3,070例与疾病有关的死亡。

Officials confirmed 99 new cases in the country on March 7, the first daily increase of less than 100 in nearly two months.
