Chinese doctors critically ill with COVID-19 wake up with darkened skin
Dr Yi Fan (left) and Dr Hu Weifeng (right), both 42, caught the novel coronavirus while treating patients at the Wuhan Central Hospital in January. Their abnormal skin colour is caused by hormonal imbalances after their livers were damaged by the virus, their doctor told Chinese state media. The two medical workers were brought back from the brink of death after doctors hooked them to a life-support machine, which replaced the function of their heart and lungs.
