    Vice-Minister of Health Gao Qiang said in Beijing Sunday the epidemic reporting system must be carried out more strictly and violators would face severe punishment.

    Gao said at a press conference that those officials in charge who are incompetent to have correct information about epidemics or intentionally cover up the situation of epidemics would be punished severely.

    As a discipline, all medical institutions must strengthen monitoring of epidemics, timely check the cases, and report the situation to superior departments. No delay, cover-up or missing of the cases is allowed, he added.
