The doctor who was one of the first to sound warnings about the Wuhan coronavirus has died.
Li Wenliang, 34, one of eight whistleblower doctors to be summoned by police in Wuhan for ‘spreading rumors’ in early January.
Immediately after being made to sign a confession, Dr Li went right back to fighting the epidemic on the frontlines at the Wuhan Central Hospital before falling ill and eventually testing positive for the coronavirus on Feb 1.
His wife and parents are reportedly also infected with the coronavirus. He also leaves behind a five-year-old daughter.
