BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese authorities have been improving health education services for migrant workers to strengthen their awareness and ability of epidemic prevention amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, an official said Saturday.
As China organizes transportation for migrant workers to return to work, multiple measures will be taken including body temperature monitoring before traveling, said Yang Wenzhuang, an official with China's National Health Commission.
Infected patients, suspected cases, close contacts and those with fever symptoms will not be allowed to travel, according to Yang.
The return of migrant workers should be arranged in accordance with the different risk levels of various regions, Yang said, stressing that migrant workers do not need to pay for health certificates or tests and no extra financial burdens should be placed on them.
