The civil affairs departments at all levels acted quickly and worked steadily to ensure that the basic lives of the poor people during the epidemic were not affected.

First, various measures and methods have been adopted in various places to guarantee the basic lives of the people in need. In Hubei, special assistance groups such as urban and rural low-income recipients, extremely poor people, severely disabled, orphans, left-behind elderly, and left-behind children are provided with living materials at a standard of not less than 500 yuan for urban personnel and 300 yuan for rural personnel.
