As more and more cases of this deadly virus are being confirmed around the world, doctors and the nurses are working around the clock to save patients who are affected.

One doctor named Liang Wudong (62-years-old), even lost his own life while treating patients infected with this deadly virus in China.

People on social media also mourned his death by calling him a true hero for his selfless contribution. 

Exhausted doctors were also seen sleeping on the floors of a hospital in China in their protective suits while, some others were snoozing in chairs and at their desks.
