Whistleblower Chinese doctor dies from coronavirus in Wuhan
Li Wenliang targeted by police after warning about outbreak on social media in December
A whistleblowing Chinese doctor, who was among the first to raise concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus in Wuhan, has died from the disease.
Li Wenliang, 34, had been targeted by Chinese police for “spreading rumours” after posting a warning on social media in late December 2019 about a cluster of cases of a flu-like disease that had been treated at his hospital.
