New medical teams sent to Wuhan to fight virus

Lin Xu, a critical care doctor from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province, is one of the most recent of 3,170 doctors sent to Wuhan to help fight the highly infectious disease. He arrived at Tianhe International Airport in the city on Thursday afternoon.

"I got the notice from the hospital last night that I would set out for Wuhan," he said. "When I told my parents in the morning I would leave, they supported my decision and told me to take care. I must come here as now is the time we are most needed."
