At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, many of those infected were treated here, including some of the first COVID-19 patients.[2][10] The hospital saw 170 people with pneumonia symptoms by January 23, 2020, and nearly 500 COVID-19 patients at the peak of the pandemic in Wuhan.[11][8] In January 2020, a group of researchers at the hospital published a paper in which they said they were concerned that the virus had "acquired the ability for efficient human transmission".[12]
