A secondary hospital in China’s central Hunan Province is overcrowded with patients amid the pandemic outbreak that started last December.

“We don’t have enough beds; we’re running short of medicines; our colleagues have almost all been infected by COVID,” claimed a nurse who works at the hospital, adding that only two nurses haven’t been infected by COVID so far.
