Breaking China’s Covid Rules Lands Medical Services Manager in Police Custody

What’s new: A regional head of a subsidiary of Guangzhou Kingmed Diagnostics Group Co. Ltd. was detained on Monday after violating disease control rules, “leading to the spread of the Covid-19 virus or [causing] a high risk of its spread,” local police said Wednesday.

It remains unclear how the manager of Zhengzhou Kingmed Clinical Laboratory Center, surnamed Zhang, violated the rules except that he is suspected of having committed criminal offences. Police in the Covid-hit city of Yuzhou are still investigating the matter, according to the Wednesday notice.
