A fresh high school student, a seafood stall owner, a district procuratorate officer and people from all walks of life have been seen at a COVID testing site in Luohu District in recent days, making their contributions in the fight against COVID-19, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.
Pang Yufei, a 15-year-old student from Hongling Middle School, joined the frontliners at the Jinding Mansion testing site in Xiangxi Village as soon as the winter vacation began this week. Pang, influenced by her mother who is a community epidemic prevention worker, decided to give a helping hand to the grassroots personnel.
“My mom is always busy all day from morning to evening,” Pang said.
Wearing full protective gear, Pang assisted residents to register for the tests. In between shifts, she spent her break time doing homework for the holiday.
Zeng Xue from Bao’an District, Pang’s teammate for the test registration work, volunteered to help after seeing a recruitment notice for volunteers issued by Xiangxi Village online.
Local volunteers from Xiangxi Village also played an important role in fighting the virus. Yang Hua, a seafood stall owner, had to temporarily close his stall due to the outbreak but became a volunteer at the sampling site.
“I have nothing to do as the shop is closed up for now. As a Party member, it is my responsibility to contribute,” Yang said. “I have been in Shenzhen for 20 years. I want to do something to help this city make a rapid recovery.”
At a community service center at Dongxiao Subdistrict in Luohu, a number of officers from Luohu District Procuratorate were occupied with conducting epidemiological investigations by making calls to people who were potentially exposed to the local COVID-19 cases.
The number of procuratorate officers helping with the community’s pandemic prevention work increased rapidly from 21 to over 70, after the city’s latest COVID wave. Chen Qi, one of the procuratorate officer volunteers, told the reporter that he once made more than 300 phone calls during the outbreak’s peak.
“I keep talking from morning to midnight. My voice gets hoarse and my mask’s ear loops made my ears sore,” he added. Although he finished a five-day epidemiological investigation shift Monday, he is still on standby.
