NSTworld: Dozens of excavators and trucks were filmed working on the site by state broadcaster CCTV.

The facility in the central city of Wuhan is expected to be in use by February 3 to serve a rising number of patients infected by a coronavirus that has left at least 26 people dead and millions on lockdown in an effort to curb its spread.It will have a capacity of 1,000 beds spread over 25,000 square metres, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Xinhua said the new facility is aimed at"alleviating the shortage of medical treatment resources and improving the ability to care for patients". Xiaotangshan Hospital consisted of prefabricated structures and Xinhua reported Friday that Wuhan was building the new facility based on the same model. Chinese officials have said the virus likely originated from wild animals at a seafood market in Wuhan but it has since spread to several countries around Asia and beyond.
