Medical waste workers play a vital role in disposing of the large amount of medical refuse generated in Wuhan every day. They are very close to the source of the virus and run a high risk of infection, but still devote themselves to fighting the epidemic.
A group of medics mainly born after 1985 and 1990 from Beijing's China-Japan Friendship Hospital has been regarded as "special forces" in the Optics Valley makeshift hospital in Wuhan. They are responsible for diagnosing patients' conditions and taking care of those in critical condition. The heavy daily workload has not daunted them, as they have sufficient local supplies and some of the elder members in the group experienced SARS in 2003. They are confident in their ability to do a good and safe job.
The Optics Valley makeshift hospital is one of a dozen of makeshift hospitals in Wuhan to treat mild cases of novel coronavirus, but its "smartness" makes it exceptional.
There are more than 30 medical couples at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, Hubei province, devoting themselves to combating the novel coronavirus and bringing hope to infected patients.
After the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic broke out, the Wuhan Erqi Road police station set up a youth brigade to help transfer patients and work on community disease control and prevention. The brigade has 34 policemen and auxiliary police, all from the post-1990 generation and devoted to fighting the epidemic.
Didi driver Wang Li decided to remain in Wuhan from the first day of the Spring Festival Holiday, serving people who need a ride in the epidemic-hit city. The 30-year-old is from Mianzhu in Southwest China's Sichuan province and survived the devastating earthquake. She came to work in Wuhan in 2018 and chose to join the battle with her second hometown against the virus. ''I must fight for the city I love,'' she said.
Wu Kui and his colleauges are responsible for preparing meals for the medics and patients at the First People's Hospital in Wuhan.
The 20-something strong team cooks more than 1,000 servings of meals that would otherwise have been done by more than 80 workers.
He Mingrong from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, 49, is one of the few female drivers for Didi's dedicated convoys for medical staff. She was among the first 100 Didi drivers who volunteered to ferry medical workers treating novel coronavirus pneumonia patients in Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic.
