NEW DELHI: As the number of coronavirus in India has crossed 1000, China has offered to construct makeshift hospitals in the country to accommodate patients in case of a rapid increase in number. It must be noted that the central government has been considering to set up makeshift hospitals across the nation in order to deal with the coronavirus.

According to reports, Beijing has already contacted the Indian government and offered to construct temporary hospitals like the ones set up at Wuhan where the outbreak began. However, sources suggest that the Indian government is yet to respond to the Chinese offer.
