ICU nurse, Jang Wok-Soon told the BBC: “The hardest thing is communicating.

“It makes you feel more anxious because of it.

“There is fear here.

“But I like to just think of them as our patients.

“And when you think of it that way, it’s not that scary.”

BBC Seoul correspondent, Laura Bicker, said: “It is, they tell me, incredibly heavy so that takes a toll during the shift.”

In the hospital there is a red line between the infected and uninfected area.

Laura Bicker explains: “This red line is sacred, do not cross it without complete disinfection afterwards.”

Shocking footage from hospitals across the world is showing how the world is responding to the crisis.

In one disturbing video taken in a Spanish hospital coronavirus patients can be seen lying on floors coughing and spluttering.

While The Sun released a video showing the inside of a temporary coronavirus hospital being built for a “high death toll” with two morgues and 4,000 beds.
