70 Trapped As Coronavirus Quarantine Hotel Collapses In China

Another complication occurred today over the war against coronavirus when a hotel being used as a quarantine centre in the Chinese city of Quanzhou crumbled, trapping about 70 people.

However, according to a BBC report, about 40 of the 70 “have been pulled from the rubble of the five-storey Xinjia Hotel.”

Videos posted online, the report indicates, show emergency workers combing through the building’s wreckage in the southern province of Fujian.

BBC has it further: “It is not clear what caused the collapse or if anyone has died.

It happened at about 19:30 local time (11:30 GMT).

Chinese state media says the hotel was being used as a quarantine facility monitoring people who had had close contact with coronavirus patients.

The hotel reportedly opened in 2018 and had 80 guest rooms.”

    People should pray for China or we will all suffer, as their penalty of evil before God are rolling in. The suffer The judgment of God is upon that nation.

    We are in that hope that their leaders will wake up, seek God’s face and ask for forgiveness for Christians they killed, jailed and abused. They should also rebuild the churches they damaged, given that the tide of these calamities must be turn or china is finished.
