Coronavirus: How the Shanghai outbreak exposed the Chinese health system’s fragility

On Tuesday afternoon, more than 1,000 health workers returned to Hubei province after spending 59 days in Shanghai working as medical help, while another 134 stayed behind to attend to serious Covid-19 patients.

“I am very happy to be able to finally return home. Not being wanted any more means Shanghai is back to normal,” Cheng Fang, head nurse at Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, said on local TV.
