Community-based epidemic prevention and control
Communities are on the front line in prevention and control of the epidemic. Community workers have played a key role in curbing the infectious disease. They take the temperature of everyone entering a residential area and obtain the health details of those living in an area who have come from elsewhere.
About 4 million people are working in some 650,000 communities nationwide. On average, six staff members serve one community, with one worker for about 350 people.
In addition to disease control, community workers buy food and drugs for residents under home quarantine to ensure life continues as normally as possible.
