Three officials in Beijing have been removed from office following a new COVID-19 outbreak.

The punished officials include a deputy head of the district, the party chief of the town and the market's general manager.

China is ready to launch the last satellite for its Beidou-3 navigation system, scheduled for the end of the month.
The satellite has completed technical testing, pre-launch procedures and more, while the rocket has also gone through all of its testing procedures.
The rocket is scheduled to be fueled today.
Chen Huaqiang is the chief of the testing station at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
"After the rocket propellants are added into the rocket, if they are put there for a long time, the rocket's temperature will have a big change. For instance, the air temperature, humidity and dew point will change significantly. At the same time, we should work out the required temperature and propellant filling volume for the control system of the rocket according to the air temperature conditions."
The Chinese-made Beidou Navigation Satellite System aims to develop space infrastructure for accurate navigational, positioning and timing services.
China began to build the Beidou-3 system in 2009.
