People in Li's welfare house properly settled

Among the 74 people affected in the ban, 71 are children (orphans or disabled), including 69 preschoolers, and three are adults. In addition, when the ban was imposed, three children had already left the welfare house, with two of them in a hospital in Wuan and one taken by a nanny to her home, cnr.cn reported citing the local civil affairs bureau.

"The 69 toddlers and babies have all been sent to 21 township hospitals for medical checkups," Wu said. Two policemen are deployed at each hospital 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of the children.

He added that a preliminary examination shows that 18 need surgery and 13 need regular checkups.

For the three students (including two children and an adult), Wu said they have been assigned to boarding schools and will receive psychological counseling.

An adult who cannot hear or speak was placed in a special facility and a 30-year-old adult now works in the city, according to Wu.
