A Chinese mother accused a hospital in China’s northern province of Hebei of causing the death of her 36-day-old infant because the hospital allegedly delayed medical treatment due to its mandatory PCR testing for COVID.

On June 13, a netizen with the username “Am IU’s Mommy” posted a complaint on her Chinese social media account, alleging that the reason the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (the Second Hospital for short) did not provide proper and timely treatment to her baby was because he did not have a PCR test report.
