After mismanaging donations, the Red Cross Society of China urged its Wuhan office to promptly rectify the issue and resolutely conduct an overhaul through effective measures, China's Red Cross Society said in a statement on its official website.

On February 1, the work team was dispatched to central China's Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, to direct and supervise the relief work of the charity organizations across the province.

The organization is under scrutiny after it emerged that medical workers dealing with the outbreak are still facing a shortage of equipment despite an influx of donations. It has raised concerns over how donations are being distributed and used.
