A medical worker presents a gift to a child patient who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 at an isolation ward of the Affiliated Hospital (Group) of Putian University in Putian, southeast China's Fujian Province, on Sept. 20, 2021. Amid the latest resurgence of COVID-19, some children have been diagnosed with the disease in Putian City. During the Mid-autumn festival, which is usually marked by family reunions, medical staff members working here played games with the child patients staying here away from their families. To make the environment child friendly, the hospital has decorated treatment wards and corridors with cartoons and adopted a targeted treatment approach with nursing and support programs. They also prepared mooncakes and toys for the young patients so as to soothe possible homesickness and the nerves. (Xinhua)
