Wuhan

A Wuhan doctor who worked with coronavirus whistleblower Li Wenliang died of the virus last week, state media reported on June 2, becoming China's first COVID-19 fatality in weeks.

Hu Weifeng, a urologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, died on May 29 after being treated for COVID-19 and allied issues for more than four months, state broadcaster CCTV said.

China is planning to implement a huge new testing regime in Wuhan after new coronavirus cases were reported in the city for the first time since April 3.

The six new cases were reported in the same housing complex on Sunday and Monday, and according to state media, all arose from transmission within the country.

The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in mainland China reached 82,901 as of May 9, while the total death toll from the virus stood at 4,633,

China has reported 14 new Covid-19 cases, including one from Wuhan in more than a month, where the outbreak was detected late last year. This took taking the number of infections in the country to 82,901, health officials said on Sunday.

After speaking with Chinese Ambassador Chen Bo and a team of Chinese doctors, Vucic said he expected the Crisis Staff to confirm this at a press conference, and stressed that the results would have been much better had it not been for the Gerontology Center in Nis, from where we already had 43 of the dead.

Chinese top diplomat in the UK Chen Wen told BBC that such requests were "politically motivated" and that fulfilling them would divert "not only the attention but also the resources" of China from fighting the pandemic.
"It's a politically motivated initiative. I don't think anyone can agree to that. It would do no good to anyone," Chen said.

More than half of British people believe that China is responsible for the fast spread of novel coronavirus, a new poll suggests.

According to the survey carried out for British tabloid Daily Mail by Redfield & Wilton, 56 % of the U.K. public holds Beijing responsible for the spread.

Chinese authorities have approved early-stage human tests for two experimental vaccines to combat the new coronavirus that killed over 100,000 people worldwide, Reuters reported, citing the state media Xinhua.

Long life in isolation meant delivering goods.
Many settlements in the city are still separated by two-meter-high plastic walls that were erected at the beginning of the crisis with the aim of social distance and isolation of communities. For this reason, the citizens of Wuhan were completely reliant on online delivery.
