For citizens, knowing that they have fever symptoms and taking the initiative to seek medical treatment is a very important factor. ” He appealed, on the one hand, hoped that the citizens would actively cooperate, and on the other hand, hope that the clinics and pharmacies that went deep into the grass-roots level could actively play the role of “sentinels”.

The location of the case. At present, the clinic cannot ‘receive’ patients with fever and other related symptoms, but it does not mean that it cannot ‘receive’ or push it away, but to contact the community, and then follow the transfer process to the fever clinic.”

In addition, the medical staff and staff of the clinic should also do a good job of health testing themselves, such as regular nucleic acid testing, guiding patients to measure temperature, scanning health codes, etc., which are also basic requirements.

The reporter also learned from Chenghua District Baohe Sub-district Office and Jinjiang District Shuyuan Sub-district Office that streets and communities will randomly conduct nucleic acid tests on pharmacy employees.

Why do you need to register? Because if the citizen has a fever or infection, the registered information can become a clue for epidemic prevention, so that our Epidemic prevention is easier to do.
