Experts urge the public to take necessary health precautions and maintain healthy hygiene habits such as wearing a mask when going out, washing your hands frequently, covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and keeping your room well-ventilated. Avoid crowded places so as to reduce your risk of infection.

Recently, the scheduling system will be implemented in all hospitals at or above level-II in the province. In order to avoid gathering in enclosed areas and to reduce hospital wait times, please make an appointment via online services, telephone or a patient check-in kiosk.

Guidelines for using a “health code” have been implemented across the province as a preventive anti-epidemic measure. If you want to be able to participate in many of the newly reopened public spaces within the city, you will need to register for a Changzhou Health Code via the My Changzhou app. You may also sign up for a Jiangsu Health Code via your Alipay account to enter public places in other cities in the Yangtze River Delta.
