Regional manager of China's leading medical testing agent KingMed Diagnostics detained, suspected of spreading COVID-19
A regional manager of Zhengzhou KingMed Clinical Laboratory Center, China's leading virus testing agent, was arrested for allegedly spreading COVID-19. The company has suspended nucleic acid testing in Xuchang City, Henan, but its ties to Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering is a concern.
On January 12, the Xuchang Public Security Bureau issued a notice, accusing the regional manager, surnamed Zhang, of the Zhengzhou company, a subsidiary of Guangzhou-based KingMed Diagnostics Group, of spreading COVID-19 or posing a serious risk of transmission. It also said that the Yuzhou (a county-level city in Henan) Public Security Bureau had opened a case against Zhang on suspicion of a criminal offence, and had taken "compulsory measures".
The news spread widely on the Chinese internet, with some netizens suspecting that Zhang had deliberately "spread the virus on purpose" to secure a large testing contract for the company. Some netizens also pointed out that the parent company KingMed Diagnostics Group is originated from a company set up by Guangzhou Medical University and has close ties with Zhong Nanshan.
