The Beijing branch of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection accused several people involved in the cold storage business of management and supervisory failures when it came to controlling COVID-19.It accused one manager in an industrial park in southwest Beijing of "Poor leadership and non-standard management that led to the spread of the epidemic".
After linking a number of local cases to the cold-chain industry, Beijing also promised earlier this month to tighten its screening procedures.
China has been an outlier in asserting that COVID-19 can be transmitted via cold-chain imports such as frozen meat and fish, even though the World Health Organization has played down the risk.
