Qi gave birth to her second child in a Shanghai hospital amid the resurgence of epidemic, even though she could not provide a nucleic acid test result before the delivery.

"Providing timely treatment for pregnant women and mothers-to-be is the duty of every medic. It's not only to save the life of the mother, but also to protect the life of the child," said Fang Lan, head nurse of the hospital's emergency department. "We won't exclude them because they have no nucleic acid tests results."
