What should I do if I don't know how to use the online platform to report?
A: You can call the hotline 1836119. The hotline has an automatic system to assist citizens in registering their ID cards and telephone numbers.

A: No matter whether you are the informant or the family members who live with you, if you have been vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine, as long as the test is negative for two consecutive days on the 6th and 7th day after the notification, the quarantine order can be regarded as over.
If they are not vaccinated, they will be quarantined for 14 days, and if they obtain a negative rapid test for two consecutive days, the quarantine order will end.
