  We wear masks on the road, and we are separated by more than one meter when we come into contact with people. We protect ourselves and do no harm to others.

  Just follow the policy strictly, that is, go home for nucleic acid testing, and 7 days of observation at home seems to be 14 days.

  [Concurrent] Mr. Ma, the passenger

  The cost of going home is a bit higher. From my personal psychological point of view, I’m still a bit more confident when I go home. At least I’ve seen a safe return at home. If something goes wrong, I have roots under my feet.

  [Commentary] According to reports, the 3603 train has a capacity of 1,274 people. On the first day of the Spring Festival, 281 tickets were sold on the train, and the occupancy rate was nearly 22%.
