In shocking U-turn, China raises COVID-19 linked death toll in Wuhan
During the height of their treating efforts, hospitals were operating beyond their capacities and medical staff were preoccupied with saving and treating patients, resulting in belated, missed and mistaken reporting.
The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Wuhan as of April 16 was revised up by 325 to 50,333, and the number of fatalities up by 1,290 to 3,869, reports Xinhua news agency, Photo: Reuters
