Jilin removes six officials after reporting coronavirus cluster infection
Jilin City in Northeast China's Jilin province on Saturday removed Liu Shijun, the deputy director of the city's health commission, and four other officials from office.
Yue Xiaoyan, the director of Shulan City's health department, was another one of the officials removed.
A day earlier, Party chief of Shulan Li Pengfei was replaced with Zhang Jinghui, who is also vice-mayor of Jilin city, according to a decision by the CPC Jilin provincial committee Friday.
A cluster infection of the coronavirus was first reported in Shulan City earlier in the month that later led local officials to reimpose epidemic control measures to prevent the further spread of the virus.
