The first batch of 34 patients tested positive of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and later on contracted pneumonia were now cleared and discharged from three mobile hospitals in Wuhan City, China.
The three temporary hospitals were built to serve as emergency aid, treatment and clinical examination services and treat patients who experienced symptoms of COVID-19.

4,000 patients were admitted in the temporary hospitals.
“I was admitted to the hospital in the early morning on Feb 6. I didn’t expect to be discharged so soon. Thanks to Party and the medical staff for taking great care of me. The other patients were also happy for me and took it as an encouragement,” Pan Hui told Reuters.

They were discharged after undergoing two nucleic acid tests, chest radiography, blood tests, and being confirmed that they showed no sign of fever.
“I was hoping to get out of hospital as soon as possible, but I got used to staying here because the amenities and services are great and the medical staff are all very nice,” Zhang Fen, another patient said.
The release of the COVID-19 free patients gave hope to the remaining patients.
