CECC reminded that since the hospital is a field with a high risk of infection transmission, unnecessary visits should be avoided during the pandemic. It is recommended to choose video calls or telephone calls instead of on-site visits. If there is still a need for visits, visitors should still follow real-name registration and hospital regulations.
