1. Change customs and advocate new trends. Actively advocate the use of green, civilized, low-carbon and environmentally friendly methods such as family memorials and online memorial services to express grief and remember the deceased.

2. Open in an orderly manner and travel in a civilized manner. From the date of the announcement, cemetery sweeping activities and outdoor commemorative sweeping activities such as ashes resting halls, pagodas, and funeral parlors will be opened in an orderly manner. Various large-scale public sacrifices and other self-organized large-scale memorial sweeping activities will not be allowed for the time being. In order to avoid congestion caused by the gathering of people and vehicles during holidays, traffic control will be implemented around large cemeteries such as Chestnut Hill Cemetery and Beishan Cemetery on March 21, 22, 28, 29 and April 4. Among them: Chestnut Hill Cemetery Festival Sweepers must take the free dedicated bus line for memorial sweeps and enter the cemetery with their reservation voucher for memorial sweeps.

Three, at the wrong time and at the wrong peak, keep the sacrifices simple and sweep. Citizens are requested to reasonably arrange the time for memorial sweeps and consciously reduce the number of people doing sacrifices and sweeps. No more than 3 people will enter each grave every day to perform sacrifices and sweeps, and keep the memorial sweeping activities simple. Government agencies, enterprises and institutions should encourage employees to stagger the time and peak periods of the festival by taking time off and other methods, and try to avoid peak periods such as holidays. Out-of-city memorial sweepers can entrust local relatives to perform memorial sweeps, and large cemeteries such as Chestnut Hill Cemetery and Beishan Cemetery provide sweep services on their behalf.

4. Comply with regulations and take protective measures. The general public is requested to consciously take personal protective measures, wear a mask at all times, obey the guidance of the staff, take the initiative to show the "Zhenjiang Health Code" or "Sukang Code" when entering the cemetery, and cooperate with body temperature checks to try to avoid visiting crowded cemeteries. Stay in areas and business halls to prevent people from gathering.

In the face of the epidemic, protecting one's own health is the best comfort for the deceased. It is hoped that the general public will start from themselves and every family, jointly create a civilized social atmosphere, and support the city's epidemic prevention and control work with practical actions.
