An official has been sacked in Wuhan, capital of central China’s Hubei Province after the city recently reported six new confirmed Coronavirus cases, local authorities said Monday.

Zhang Yuxin was removed from his posts for poor management over the closing-off and control of the Sanmin residential community, which is under the jurisdiction of Changqing Street, where Zhang served as secretary and member of the Changqing Street working committee of the Communist Party of China.
