CNN reports that a sinkhole covering an area of 618 square meters and 20 meters deep suddenly appeared in the parking lot of the Ospedale del Mare Hospital in Naples, southern Italy, at 6:30 a.m. local time on the 8th, swallowing several cars and forcing the hospital to evacuate six asymptomatic patients with the new coronary pneumonia (Chinese Communist virus), but fortunately no one was injured.
Naples police told CNN that “the magistrate has appointed a technical expert to investigate the cause of the collapse and concluded that rainwater may have infiltrated during the past two weeks, which led to the collapse. Police added that they rejected the earlier hypothesis that an explosion caused the collapse and that no one was killed or injured at the scene.
The hospital said that after the sinkhole appeared, the water supply to the hospital was interrupted and the hospital is currently using a generator to supply electricity.
