BEIJING - Xi'an has temporarily closed two scandal-hit hospitals after their strict adherence to pandemic rules led to deaths, slashing medical capacity inXi'an Gaoxin Hospital and Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital will close for three months, the city's Health Commission said in a Thursday statement, during which time they will undergo a"rectification" process.

Discussion of the hospital closures was the No.1 trending item on China's Twitter-like Weibo early Thursday afternoon, with some users criticising the government's decision - a rarity in the nation ruled by a single party intolerant of dissent. "Even if such rectifications are really needed, shouldn't they wait until the outbreak is over and things in Xi'an get back to normal?" he said."What's the reason for carrying out such heavy punishment now?"
