As the coronavirus continues to spread inside China, a resident in the epicenter of the outbreak told The Epoch Times about her father being rejected from the hospital despite having symptoms similar to the virus.

The central Chinese city of Wuhan first reported an outbreak of a viral pneumonia on Dec. 31, 2019. Authorities later traced the disease to a new strain of coronavirus, which has since spread quickly to all provinces and regions of China.
