A Chinese court has sentenced a man to death for fatally stabbing two officials at a checkpoint set up to control the spread of the new coronavirus outbreak.
The virus has infected more than 80,000 people and killed nearly 3,000 in mainland
China -- prompting a wide network of temperature checks, travel restrictions, residential checks and closures nationwide.
On Sunday a court handed down a death sentence to a 23-year-old man after he stabbed two officials at one local village checkpoint.
