COVID-19 cannot afford isolation at its own cost. What should I do?

If you don't have the money at your own expense, you can contact your family, friends and work unit to raise money.

If there is really no way to raise money, you can ask the community for help.

Under normal circumstances, you can get subsidies from relevant departments by showing proof of financial difficulties.

People with special financial difficulties apply for subsidies from the community, and the community helps the poor to pay for centralized isolation.

According to the provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, during the period of isolation, the people's government that implements isolation measures shall provide living security for the isolated people.

If you can't afford centralized isolation at your own expense, you can apply for home isolation separately.

If the relevant departments do not agree to home isolation, they can only pay.

According to Article 61 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, the state strengthens the construction of the prevention and control system of infectious diseases at the grass-roots level and supports the prevention and control of infectious diseases in poverty-stricken areas and ethnic minority areas.

Local people's governments at all levels shall guarantee the funds for the prevention of infectious diseases in urban communities and rural grassroots.

Article 62. The state provides medical assistance to poor people suffering from specific infectious diseases, and reduces medical expenses.

The specific measures shall be formulated by the health administrative department of the State Council in conjunction with the financial department of the State Council.
