Dr Li Wenliang was reprimanded by Chinese officials for warning other doctors about coronavirus cases.

A Chinese doctor who was silenced by police for warning about the coronavirus outbreak has been diagnosed with the disease.

The patients he treated were quarantined in his hospital and thought to have come from the seafood market in Wuhan where the outbreak is believed to have originated. The revelation over how the doctor was silenced came as Chinese leaders admitted “shortcomings and deficiencies” in the country’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

On Tuesday, officials announced that the death toll in mainland China had risen to 425, with the total number of cases at 20,438 – an increase from the 361 deaths and 17,205 cases reported a day earlier.The man travelled to Hong Kong from Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak in China. Scientists suspect the outbreak began at a seafood market in Wuhan where wild animals were on sale and in contact with people.
