Chinese media reports that the mobile furnaces – used for burning animal carcasses and medical waste – have been shipped to the centre of the Covid-19 outbreak
China has reportedly deployed 40 industrial incinerators to the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak Wuhan.
Chinese media reports that the furnaces have been shipped to the city amid ongoing fears the death toll is being covered up.
Wuhan has been at the centre of the global epidemic which has infected more than 75,000 people and killed more than 2,000.
It is believed the virus spread from bats to other animals in the so-called “wet markets” in the city before being passed to humans.
Sources quoted in Chinese media raise questions over whether or not the incinerators are for animals, or will be used to dispose of human remains.
