Thousands of doctors from all over the country have gone to Hubei to support, and medical supplies are constantly arriving. The Vulcan Mountain Hospital with 1,000 beds was built and officially delivered in a few days. These measures are producing positive results. The mortality rate in COVID-19 is only 2.1%, which is far lower than Ebola, SARS, Middle East respiratory syndrome and other infectious diseases.
