Wuhan authorities refute claims of hospital damage

Rumor: Huoshenshan Hospital has been "blown away" and that severe rain leakage occurred. 

It was alleged that some patients from the hospital, which was constructed in only 10 days, have to be transferred to other medical institutes because of the incident. 

Fact:

In a media release on Saturday, the Wuhan construction authority said that the hospital has been operating normally since it was put into operation on Feb 4.

It also said rain leakage featured in an online video didn't happen in the hospital, but Leishenshan, the second makeshift hospital built in Wuhan for virus control. 

"It happened in a zone that has not been transferred for operation," it said, adding workers have been busy repairing the area. 

The authority will take intensified measures to enhance the capabilities of the makeshift structures in withstanding extreme weather, it added.
