Investigators are looking into the unexpected death of a resident in Korla, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, who died at hospital on Nov 2 after medical treatment, according to a statement by the city's anti-epidemic work group on Wednesday.
The resident, surnamed Guo, was sent to hospital from a makeshift treatment location, the statement said. Those places usually hold people infected with the COVID-19 virus or those people with a risk of transmission.
Fact gathering is being carried out by a special investigative team formed by authorities from the city's health commission, public security organ and bureau of discipline inspection and supervision.
"We will ascertain the facts as soon as possible and punish those responsible," the statement said.
