Two hospitals in China's Xi'an closed over lockdown failures

, have been closed while they"rectify" mistakes, authorities said on Thursday .

Top health officials were forced to apologise last week after a distressing social media post - including photos and video of the woman sitting on a plastic stool outside Gaoxin Hospital in a pool of blood - prompted outrage over the megacity's harsh imposition of the rules. In a separate incident at the second hospital, a Xi'an resident said her father had died last week after he could not get medical treatment for a heart ailment due to"pandemic-related rules".Both hospitals have been given warnings and made to"suspend operations for three months for rectification", and will only be allowed to reopen after getting approval.

"This led to delays in the rescue, diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, arousing widespread public attention and having a bad social impact," health authorities added.
