BEIJING: At least four people were killed following the collapse of a hotel used as a coronavirus quarantine facility in eastern China, the Ministry of Emergency Management said Sunday.
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.
