Man died in Chinatown after people 『refused to give CPR over coronavirus fears』

A Chinese man who suffered a suspected fatal heart attack in Sydney was reportedly left to die on the pavement because onlookers were too scared to give CPR in case he had coronavirus. The 60-year-old man collapsed outside the Masuya Suisan restaurant in the Chinatown district on Tuesday night, New South Wales Police said. Medics battled to revive him but he died at the scene at around 8.30pm, Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported. According to news.com.au, NSW Police would not comment on reports in the Telegraph that bystanders refused to attempt resuscitation over fears about the virus.
