Xi fired the head of Hubei province, the guy in charge of managing the outbreak, and sent in the mayor of Shanghai, who had worked under Xi as a police chief earlier in his career.
When I first saw this story I figured they needed a head to roll and it was mostly symbolic. But The Economist is reporting this as Xi sending in The Wolf. I don't know what to make of it though.

quote:A Wuhan hospital director has become one of the latest victims of the novel coronavirus, Chinese officials announced on Tuesday.
Liu Zhiming, 51, had taken part in the battle against Covid-19 from the start and made important contributions to the work to control its spread, the Wuhan Health Commission said.
He is believed to be the seventh Chinese health professional to have succumbed from the disease since the outbreak began in late December.
The announcement of his death comes a day after Chinese health experts announced that they have found effective methods to treat the novel coronavirus which has now killed more than 1,873 people.
Guo Yanhong, deputy director of the Medical Administration Bureau of National Health Commission (NHC) said that as of February 16, more than 10,000 patients had been treated and discharged from Chinese hospitals.
The antimalarial drug Chloroquine Phosphate was found to have a certain curative effect on the virus, Chinese doctors said. Patients also received antiviral drugs.
