She was accompanied not only by the medical staff, but also by her mother.

Xingxing is the youngest patient in Chongqing's local confirmed cases of COVID-19. On the evening of November 6, because she tested positive for nucleic acid, she accompanied by a pediatrician from the isolation point in a negative pressure ambulance to the Chongqing Public Health Medical Treatment Center for further diagnosis and treatment, and was diagnosed the next day.

"She developed mild nasal congestion and cough symptoms after admission, and with the company of her relatives, her sense of security will be stronger, her compliance will be better, her cooperation with treatment will be better, and she and her mother's source of infection are the same, and the mother and daughter living in the same ward can take into account the safety of the hospital and the patient's condition."

After entering the ward, the stars that had not seen my mother for a few days were happy and broken, and I kept talking and laughing with my mother.

"When I once asked her what her hobbies were, the little girl thought about it for half a day, replied that she was painting, and I asked her if she had the conditions to paint in the ward, and she said that there was paper and pen, but there was no drawing board. Later, we gave feedback to the nursing department and tried to meet her needs as much as possible. Yuan Guodan said.

With the company of her daughter, the recent anxiety of The Star Mother has also eased.

"As long as the child can stay with the mother, she will feel happy and conducive to the early recovery of the mother and daughter." Yuan Guodan said.
