Some makeshift hospitals in Jilin dismantled
Starting Sunday, some makeshift hospitals in Jilin city, Jilin province, will be cleared and closed down, officials said on Monday.
A total of 192 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 236 asymptomatic carriers were discharged from hospitals or quarantine on Sunday, Wang Bin, deputy director of the city's health commission, said at a news conference.
"For the 10th consecutive day, the number of new confirmed cases was less than the number of patient discharged," he said. "Three areas have been adjusted from medium-risk for COVID-19 to low-risk, leaving 37 medium-risk areas in the city as of Sunday."
The city reached zero-COVID status at the community level on Friday after 37 days of efforts to control the novel coronavirus outbreak since the recent round of the epidemic broke out on March 2.
