Nanning News (Reporter/Correspondent Zhou Hongmei/Jiang Yuanjiang) In order to better support the prevention and control of pneumonia in novel coronavirus and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic, Guangxi recently issued a policy to ensure the funds for the prevention and control of pneumonia in novel coronavirus.

First, implement the subsidy policy for patients' treatment expenses. After the medical expenses incurred by the diagnosed patients are paid according to the regulations, such as basic medical insurance, serious illness insurance and medical assistance, the personal burden will be subsidized by the finance. The required funds shall be paid in advance by the finance at the same level, and the finance of the central and autonomous regions will give subsidies in accordance with the prescribed share ratio.

the second is to give temporary work subsidies to medical staff and epidemic prevention workers who participate in prevention and control work. For those who have direct contact with cases to be investigated or confirmed, diagnosis, treatment, nursing, hospital infection control, case specimen collection and pathogen detection, the central government will subsidize them according to the 311 yuan per person per day; For other medical personnel and epidemic prevention workers who participate in epidemic prevention and control, the central government will subsidize them according to 211 yuan per person per day. The subsidy funds shall be advanced by the finance at the same level, and the central finance and local governments shall settle the accounts according to the facts.

Third, the funds needed for purchasing special equipment for protection, diagnosis and treatment and rapid diagnostic reagents needed by medical and health institutions to carry out epidemic prevention and control work shall be arranged by the finance at the same level, and the finance of the central and autonomous regions shall give subsidies as appropriate.

The policy also makes it clear that the financial departments at all levels should work with the health authorities to implement the above subsidy policy as soon as possible, ensure the funds for prevention and treatment, and never delay treatment and epidemic prevention and control because of the cost.
