While ensuring promptness in treatment through the section doctor system, the emergency medical service system and the telemedicine service system, the public health sector has solved issues arising in the selection and usage of and self-treatment with medicines according to various symptoms by sending more medical workers to relevant areas.

A research work to detect cases of the malignant virus and take measures against it in time is intensified.

Research is dynamically conducted at scientific institutions to estimate the possibility of outbreak and spread of a new COVID-19 sub-variant, while work is being pushed ahead with to standardize the efficiency and properties of respective medicines based on analytical results of clinical examination, carried out on more than ten kinds of already-developed antiviral medicines.
