A man , who has recovered from the COVID-19 coronavirus infection, arrives at a hotel for a 14-day quarantine after being discharged from a hospital in Wuhan, in China's central Hubei province on March 1, 2020. - China on March 1 reported 35 more deaths from the new coronavirus, taking the toll in the country to 2,870.
The coastal city of Quanzhou has recorded 47 cases of the COVID-19 infection and the hotel had been repurposed to house people who had been in recent contact with confirmed patients, the People’s Daily state newspaper reported. Other footage published by local media, purportedly from security cameras across the street, showed the entire hotel collapsing in seconds.
State broadcaster CCTV had earlier reported 48 people had been rescued out of 67 initially trapped when the hotel — which opened two years ago — collapsed.
