Beijing has been actively carrying out online medical services facing the increasing number of COVID-19 infections in the city, senior official said on Monday at a news conference.

Hospitals in Beijing can offer online medical treatment for COVID-19 patients with supports on prices and medical insurance, said Tu Zhitao, an official from the city's health commission.

"The public hospitals should offer online medical treatments with the same price of on-site services and the costs can be covered by the public medical insurance," he said. "The medicines for other common diseases can be delivered to patients by third-party units after the approval from pharmacists."

Beijing has been also increasing medicine supplies to residents in the past two weeks to meet the soaring demand.

In order to provide related medicines to more people in need, fever medication can be divided into smaller quantities for sale in drugstores.

The key group of people, including seniors, kids and pregnant women, are given more attention to meet their medication requirement.
