Why will the new coronavirus epidemic follow up?

Receiving an epidemic follow-up call may be because someone in contact is infected or has become a close contact.

Follow-up originally refers to the recovery visit of patients after treatment in the hospital, but now it is the telephone interview conducted by relevant units during the epidemic period on people traveling to and from high-risk epidemic areas. Therefore, it is very important and is the key to epidemic prevention and control at this stage. The information collected can be a vital part of effectively curbing the development of the epidemic. When you receive a follow-up call, be sure not to hang up, and just report your information carefully.
