The family were reportedly trying to board a flight at Nanjing airport but the parents left their son and daughter by the departure gate after a scan showed the boy's body temperature was suspiciously high.

A 1000 bed hospital dedicated to patients infected is also being built as existing ones struggle to cope with the numbers and is modelled on the Xiaotangshan hospital built in Beijing to cope with the SARS outbreak of 2003.
