The COVID-19 outbreak in Qingdao, Shandong province, has been traced to two dock workers, officials said on Friday. It was spread through poor disinfection of a CT scanning room shared by patients with the novel coronavirus and other conditions at Qingdao Pulmonary Hospital, they said.
Qingdao on China’s East Coast is best known for its German architecture and its brews. Traders, of course, know Qingdao for its seaport and naval base.
