Wuhan authorities have set up around 50 pharmacies to provide patients with chronic diseases their daily doses amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Residents in need of medication can report their demands to their communities. Staff workers and volunteers will be assigned to purchase medicines accordingly.

Meanwhile, multiple hospitals in the city have resumed or will resume outpatient services soon.
