The World Health Organisation said on Twitter that it was “deeply saddened” by news of his death. The topics “the Wuhan government owes doctor Li Wenliang an apology” and “we want free speech” briefly trended on Weibo late on Thursday, but yielded no search results on Friday. Reports of Li’s death had surfaced before midnight local time in China on state media but were deleted later. Li said on Weibo on February 1 that he had tested positive for the coronavirus. China has now reported more than 600 deaths and 30,000 cases of the coronavirus.
