Shortly after on January 10, he developed symptoms including cough and fever, which aggravated quickly.

Dr. Li Wenliang shared the following message on social media:
"I began coughing severely on January 10th, had a fever on January 11th, and was hospitalized on January 12th. I think I must have gotten it while receiving and treating a patient because I was not wearing any protection while dealing with him, who had felt a fever since before the 9th.
The following is an update he shared on his condition after having contracted the virus:
Its still very hard for me to breathe, and Im unable to move. My parents are in hospital with me, along with many other supporters who have shown heartwarming encouragement in the fight we have been spearheading. Seeing them standing there has uplifted my mood and motivated me to get back on the front lines as soon as I feel better. I don't want to be a deserter."
May your beautiful soul rest in peace.
