The pants were discolored because of the usage of disinfectants. On Tuesday, 29 medical staffers from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University are scheduled to depart Hubei and go back to Changsha of Hunan Province. The first batch of medical assistance teams started leaving Hubei Province early on Tuesday as the epidemic outbreak in the hard-hit province has been subdued. The 3,675 medical staffers belonging to 41 medical teams from across China have assisted 14 temporary hospitals and seven designated hospitals in Wuhan, the provincial capital and epicenter of the outbreak.
