Lots of household doctors across the country carry on disease screening and medical check-ups for families in their charge, while offering medical observation and positive treatment to those with fever.

Medical workers of hospitals at all levels make the rounds of areas and households in their charge to closely watch the courses of the disease of those with fever and apply scientific treatment methods and tactics in line with requirements of a special guide.
