Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many Chinese provinces and cities have suspended mass tomb-sweeping activities, launched reservation services to control visitor numbers in cemeteries, or called on the public to sweep their ancestors' tombs remotely to prevent large crowds and reduce cross-infection.

For those who are unable to visit tombs, they can ask the cemetery staff to offer sacrifices on their behalf.
