To the general public:

In order to fully implement prevention and control measures for the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children (CQHCWC) reminds all people coming to the center of the following requirements:

I. Entry management

1. Please correctly wear masks throughout the entire process, and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from each other as indicated by signs on the ground. Those without a mask will not be allowed to enter the center.

2. Please cooperate with medical workers in pre-examination and triage work, such as measuring temperatures, checking health codes and travel codes, sanitizing hands, and related epidemiological history inquiries.

3. Please report whether you have clinical symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, diarrhea, and loss of taste or smell. You should also report whether you have recently visited areas with a high COVID-19 risk, history of close contact with COVID-19 patients or asymptomatic carriers, history of contact with people with fever or respiratory symptoms, history of clustered disease in a small scope, or history of close contact with personnel in the cold chain sector or other people at risk. If your temperature reaches 37.3 C or higher, or you have any the aforementioned clinical symptoms or epidemiological history, please tell medical workers and visit a fever clinic under their guidance.

4. Those from other low-risk areas in high-risk areas, counties, cities, or districts, as well as other high-risk people as determined by other provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities should report to the community and receive quarantine according to the city's requirements. Other non-emergency patients with a recent history of leaving Chongqing will be allowed to enter the hospital with a negative nucleic acid test result after returning to Chongqing.

II. Outpatient management

1. For non-critically ill patients, visit the center 15-20 minutes in advance of your appointment time.

2. It is recommended that there be no more than one accompanying person for pediatric patients.

3. When picking up numbers, waiting for doctors, paying fees, checking, or waiting for medicine, please maintain a safe distance of at least 1 meter or more from others, and wear masks properly throughout the process.

4. When you see the doctor, please enter the consulting room alone. Companions are not allowed to enter the room.

5. When you cough or sneeze, please use tissues or sleeves to cover your mouth and nose, avoid touching the surrounding environment, and use disposable disinfectant or wash your hands immediately after.

6. Patients in the fever clinic must cooperate to complete relevant screenings such as nucleic acid testing, and wait for the screening results at the site. Only when the test result is negative and COVID-19 is ruled out can patients go to a specialist for treatment or leave the hospital.

III. Hospitalization management

1. Non-critically ill patients and their companions must have negative nucleic acid test results from within seven days before they are hospitalized, and those who have recently visited medium or high-risk areas must have a negative result from within 48 hours.

2. The nucleic acid tests of emergency patients and their companions will be completed simultaneously during emergency treatment. Patients must first be quarantined in a single room, and then transfer to a multi-person ward after ruling out COVID-19.

3. In order to reduce the risk of crowding in the ward, the hospital has adopted closed-loop management, stating that companion is unnecessary and prohibiting visits.

4. All wards in the center are carrying out strict 24-hour entry management, not allowing patients and companions to leave the ward at will.

5. Patients and companions should take personal protective measures and actively cooperate with pandemic prevention and control work, including but not limited to: correctly wearing masks throughout the process and washing hands frequently; covering your mouth with tissues or sleeves when coughing or sneezing and not spitting anywhere; not visiting wards or chatting with others nearby; cooperating with daily health monitoring, and not concealing or lying about your health status.
