Coronavirus-Chinese doctor who warned about outbreak dies from infection

Dr. Li Wenliang, one of eight coronavirus whistleblowers in China who tried to warn other medics, died from the virus Thursday in Wuhan.

Dr Li was summoned by police when he tried to warn others about the virus back in December,reported the Guardian.

He sent a message to fellow medics in a group chat on 30 December, and days later was summoned to the Public Security Bureau to sign a letter in which he was accused of making “false comments”.

Dr Li was one of eight people being investigated by police for “rumour-mongering”.
