The Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, Hubei Province in central China, has been in the spotlight as a major battlefield for the fight against the novel coronavirus.

HUST is a leading comprehensive university under the administration of the Ministry of Education. It is the university that has devoted the largest number of hospital beds and the most medical workers to the fight against the virus, said Shao Xinyu, Secretary of the Communist Party of China Committee of HUST, on February 21, in an interview with China Central Television.
