As the death toll of the deadly coronavirus continues to rise, China has built a 1,000-bed hospital completed in just 8 days to help tackle the outbreak.

Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan, where the virus originated, is one of two dedicated facilities being constructed with 361 deaths now confirmed since the outbreak started in December.

Reports have it that the hospital will begin to admit patients later today.

The hospital, Huoshenshan, or “fire-god mountain”, is designed to have 1,000 beds for patients with confirmed infections to ease a shortage of beds elsewhere in the city as the virus spreads.

The epidemic has infected more than 17,000 in China and at least 171 overseas.

There are more than 11,000 cases in Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, state television said today.

Construction of Huoshenshan was copied from a hospital built in Beijing in 2003 that was dedicated to the fight against SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome.

More than 7,500 workers took part in the fast-build project, which commenced on January 25 and finished this weekend.

Rapper Lil Wayne has released a new album “Funeral” four years after he first hinted about the project.

Funeral is the follow-up to Wayne’s Tha Carter V, which arrived in 2018 after a years-long delay.

The album was originally slated for a 2019 release. In August last year, New Orleans’ radio station Q93 asked if he’d ever drop Tha Carter VI to which Wayne responded: “I’m not sure. I wouldn’t count it out but Funeral is my next album… I’ma be dropping that by the end of the year.”

Although “Funeral” was first released live on YouTube Music shortly after midnight, it was later removed and now live on streaming platforms.

A top UN official has warned that the international community would “pay a terrible price” if it fails to help rebuild Sudan’s dilapidated economy as the African country transitions to civilian rule.

“The story of Sudan in the year 2020 is not the story of the previous government,” United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Achim Steiner told AFP in an interview during his visit to Sudan this week.

“It is the story in which waiting for too long to actually step in and support this (development) process may have a terrible price.”

More than a year after the start of a nationwide protest movement that led to the ouster of longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir last April, Sudan faces a series of challenges driven by an economic crisis.

Years of recession were a key trigger for the protest movement against Bashir’s 30-year-old autocratic regime...

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has approved the sacking of 5,000 workers employed by the previous All -Progressives Congress-led government of Jibril Bindow.

The salaries of the civil servants had been stopped last year over what the state government called “improper employment and transfer of service.”

The fate of the civil servants was finally sealed as the state executive council endorsed the report of a committee the government had asked to regularise employment and transfer of service in the state.

On Wednesday, the state’s commissioner of information and strategy, Umar Pella, announced their sack after a meeting of the state executive council at the Government House, Yola.

Mr Pella advised those employed between September 2018 and May 2019 to seek fresh employment, saying the government no longer recognise them as its employees.

Mr Pella said the report of the committee shows that there were irregularities in their employment process.
