Coronavirus: death toll passes Sars virus as dozens more die in Wuhan

Wuhan hospitals need more staff and supplies as residents describe increasingly desperate conditions

Dozens more people have died in the city at the centre of China's coronavirus outbreak, where hospitals are severely undersupplied and understaffed and residents have described increasingly desperate conditions.

Chinese state media reported 57 new deaths on Monday, all but one in Wuhan, the capital of the central province of Hubei which has been under lockdown for almost two weeks as authorities try to contain the outbreak.
