Precautions for medical treatment

If you suspect that you have been infected with novel coronavirus, you should learn about the proposed medical institution online or by phone in advance as far as possible, make an appointment and make preparations, and familiarize yourself with the layout of the hospital departments and the step-by-step procedures to minimize the time required for consultation. Avoid using public transportation when going to the hospital. On the way to the hospital and inside the hospital, both the patient and accompanying family members should wear medical surgical masks or N95 masks throughout. When seeking medical treatment, the patient should give a detailed and honest account of his/her illness, especially whether he/she has recently traveled to and lived in Wuhan, had contact with patients or suspected patients with pneumonia, or had contact with animals. Special attention should be paid to the fact that surgical masks should be worn throughout the consultation process to protect yourself and others. Source: Dr. Yurai
