The border city Manzhouli in North China's Inner Mongolia deposed two officials on Sunday, criticizing another four for slow and weak response in combating COVID-19.
Zhao Hui, a deputy director of public security bureau of Jalai Nur district, Manzhouli, was removed from office for delaying the transfer and quarantine of more than 100 close contacts of an infected individual on Saturday.
So was a vice chairman of Manzhouli Labor Union Su Weidong, who poorly discharged his duty at quarantine hotels on Friday.
Four other officials in the same district were criticized for lack of responsibility in promoting nucleic acid tests, transferring people under quarantine or managing lockdown residential areas.
Local authorities called on government officials to stay on high alert and fight against the latest COVID-19 flare-up with full effort.
According to the regional health commission, Inner Mongolia has reported 332 locally transmitted confirmed COVID-19 cases as of Saturday, with 295 cases detected in Manzhouli and 32 cases in Jalai Nur.
