Logistics support plays big role in combating virus


The past two weeks have not been easy for Li Wei, a conductor from the Guangzhou Railway Bureau's Transport Department.
Getting up at 5 am and going to bed at 11 pm, Li has devoted most of his day since Jan 23 to his work on the high-speed trains sending people in various professions and supplies needed to Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

For Li, however, he regards the past few days as his greatest glory in 12 years in the transportation sector.
"Logistics support is crucial now for Wuhan. It's also the obligation and contribution to all railway workers," said Li.

Since Wuhan was locked down, the high-speed railway is playing a rather important role in fighting against the virus, as one of the few transportation means that can bring Wuhan the vital support of medical staff and supplies.
The Guangzhou Railway Bureau urgently mobilized 88 train drivers back to work, and has transported epidemic control and prevention materials to Central China's Hubei province, including 200,000 surgical masks, 20,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, tens of thousands of packs of medicine, as well as 90 tons of lotus root.
