According to their doctors, their abnormal skin colour is caused by hormonal imbalances after their livers were damaged by the virus.

The two medics were first to the Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital&nbsp; after both of them were diagnosed on January 18.&nbsp;

Doctors saved them by hooking them to a life-support machine called ECMO&nbsp;for 39 days.

ECMO is a drastic life-support procedure which replaces the function of the heart and lungs by pumping oxygen into the blood outside the body.

It has been proven that COVID-19&nbsp;has an adverse impact on hearling and sensory organs and&nbsp;also leads to brain impairment.
