Editor's Note:
Head of Wuhan’s Jinyintan Hospital, Zhang Dingyu, expressed his gratitude to medics from Jiangsu Province for their support at the hospital’s ICU wing during a farewell ceremony on Sunday.
As the last 14 patients tested negative for COVID-19, all critically ill patients at the hospital have since been cured. The medics will return home on Monday, ending their two-month fight against the virus.
