A video which is believed to have been filmed inside a Spanish hospital has emerged, showing coughing coronavirus patients lying on the floor of a corridor as they wait for help.

The distressing clip shows come patients on the floor while they appear to be hooked to oxygen tanks.

Some can be seen coughing deeply as a medic stands nearby.

The image was shared online in a bid to urge people to abide by the social distancing measures being enforced in countries across the world.
