Chinese jails have become hotbeds of coronavirus as more than 500 cases have erupted, prompting the ouster of several officials
More than 500 cases of COVID-19 erupted across five penitentiaries across three provinces, according to the Ministry of Justice. This led to a spike in the national tally of the coronavirus, triggered fears of the virus spreading in clusters, and prompted several local officials to be sacked.
"The implementation of our prevention and control measures have not been effective," Wu Lei, head of the province's prison administration, told the New York Post. "The policeman… was diagnosed with new coronavirus on Jan. 29. He had worked long hours and has come into contact with many people, causing many prisoners to become infected," Xu said, according to AFP. "All patients are observed in isolation, and all confirmed patients are sent for treatment.
Tang tweeted on Sunday night about a potential coronavirus outbreak just south of Jining. Soon, someone knocked at his parents' door. According to state news agency Xinhua, deputy secretary-general of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, China's top law enforcement agency, is heading a team that will examine the Rencheng Prison cases. The Post said he promised "all out efforts" to quarantine patients and get appropriate medical care for those who are sick.
