When touting the Chinese regime’s response to the current epidemic, Chinese state media often mention the rapid construction of two field hospitals in the central city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.

In late January, the Wuhan municipal government announced the construction of two field hospitals, Leishenshan and Huoshenshan, in order to handle the large number of local patients infected with CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus. The two hospitals began taking in patients in early February.
