As enterprises resume operation, more people will visit and return to Jiangsu who are urged to log in to the Health Declaration System for Visitors and Returnees to Jiangsu as soon as possible and declare their health conditions every morning and evening. Where conditions permit, employees of enterprises and public institutions can declare their health conditions via their employers. In case of symptoms like fever or cough, seek treatment in the nearest fever clinics as soon as possible and inform the medical staff of places you have been to in the last 2 weeks.
