BEIJING (Reuters) – The Chinese city of Qingdao in eastern Shandong province said on Thursday that it has suspended the head of the city’s municipal health commission after a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
The director of the Qingdao Chest Hospital has also been removed from their post, the city said in a statement on its official WeChat account.
The city reported 13 COVID-19 cases, which appear to be linked to the Qingdao Chest Hospital, where infected travellers arriving from overseas have been treated in an isolated area.
