Beijing announced on Saturday more measures, mainly concerning medical services to provide more convenience for the public, during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
The health commission announced on Saturday the city will improve the service in makeshift hospitals to ensure that patients can be discharged safely, effectively and orderly.
The staff of makeshift hospitals will provide documents for recovered patients to ensure the latter can be accepted by their residential communities smoothly. The communities' health service agencies will be responsible for discharged patients' registration and provide health guidance afterwards.
The city's epidemic control and prevention situation is still severe and complicated. All stakeholders including the individual should work more scientifically and effectively to curb the upward trend of the ongoing outbreak and avoid new epidemics.
People can also get healthcare and medical consultant service at an online platform relaunched recently by Beijing Medical Association which has arranged experts on eight specialties including respiratory, infectious diseases, geriatrics, pediatrics and psychology, according to the city's health commission on Saturday.
"The platform will run between 8 am and 10 pm and experts will answer the questions from the public during the time, which will help people get professional guidance and medical knowledge without going out," said the commission.
