On the night of Feb 2, Wuhan native Ding Hui started developing chills and a high fever. He pulled himself out of bed in the middle of the night and made his way to the emergency department of a hospital, where he was given a CT scan and some blood tests.
The doctor on duty said it did not look like he was infected with the new coronavirus, which had started spreading like wildfire across the city.
