Authorities in Suzhou city have gone all out to combat the sporadic resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic while making unremitting efforts to ensure people’s health.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, a pregnant woman in a sealed-off community in Suzhou gave birth to a "year of the tiger baby".
The safety of the mother and daughter is inseparable from the considerate attention given by the expert medical team.
There are a total of 8 pregnant women in the community. Due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the community was temporarily closed, making it impossible for pregnant mothers to go to the hospital for maternity examinations on time.
The community temporarily recruited 4 professional medical staff to form a consultation group, provide psychological counseling, and provide 24-hour professional guidance and response to situations such as obstetric examinations.
The Suzhou Health and Health Commission has compiled a list of pregnant women with "yellow health codes".
