BEIJING — Primary-level medical institutions across China have resumed normal services as coronavirus outbreak control has continued to show positive momentum, a health official said on April 11.

While maintaining epidemic control as a regular practice, primary-level medical institutions have been providing services including daily diagnosis and treatment, chronic disease management and health guidance, said Gao Guangming, an official with the National Health Commission, at a press conference.

Efforts have been made to ensure that urban and rural residents have quick and easy access to basic medical and healthcare services, Gao said.
