As part of its novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control efforts, the Zhanjiang health bureau uses the provincial Internet medical platform to carry out medical treatment, as well as vigorously develops online diagnosis and treatment services.

The Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, and five county-level people's hospitals are connected to the platform, providing remote consultations with provincial experts online for patients in Zhanjiang.

The Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, and Guangdong Provincial Nongken Central Hospital have also provided online consulting services to actively guide patients with common and chronic diseases to conduct re-examinations online, reducing the risk of cross-infection of the novel coronavirus at hospitals.
