5. Hospitals map

In case of fever, you will have to go to one of the designated fever hospitals in Tianjin.
We really wish that you will never have to use this part of the article, but it is always better to know what to do.
In order to find the nearest designated hospital from your home, you can use the Baidu map app.

It is extremely difficult to give instructions about how to check if your masks or medicine are genuine.
Some articles will recommend you to check on
http://www.nmpa.gov.cn/WS04/CL2042/
if the serial numbers match the description.
We guess it is not that complicated to reproduce these numbers on the fake products.
We tried it and it was extremely hard to navigate and understand for our Chinese staff.
We have compiled here a list of photos of fake and real masks, for sight comparaison and information purposes.
