In reply to concerns over discrimination against recovered COVID-19 patients in the job market, Yin Xin, spokeswoman of the municipal government, said government departments and companies should not create obstacles for those patients.
"Society should give more care to COVID-19 patients, not put labels on them and not let their work and life be overshadowed by the illness from which they've already recovered," Yin said.
