Children aged 0-14 years who have visited the fever clinic, if the children and their accompanying family members have no COVID-19 historical epidemiology, who are not staff at medium- or high- risk positions, without travel history to medium-, high- risk or epidemic related areas over the past 14 days, the health code is green, and the children have completed nucleic acid sampling and registration, they can leave the fever clinic, return home for observation, and wait for the nucleic acid test results. They shall avoid taking public transport on the way back home. 

Other patients in fever clinics should stay at the fever clinics for observation prior to the feedback of nucleic acid test results.

In response to the increasing number of patients in the fever clinics, Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission has also rolled out six requirements to facilitate residents seeking medical services as follows:

Add COVID-19 testing equipment to shorten the waiting time for people to get results;

Optimize medical process to reduce gatherings;

Medical institutions with fever clinics should ensure all these clinics are open, and all those in need are treated;

Increase rooms and medical staff to meet the needs of fever clinics during peak periods;

Based on the actual situation, medical institutions can set up a special area for children's influenza follow-up treatment in general pediatrics or internal medicine clinics to treat children without COVID-19 historical epidemiology;

Keep a clear record of patients' historical epidemiology, and guide patients in a timely and orderly manner.
