Xinhua All Media+|Changsha: "Shared medicine box" escorts takeaway riders, couriers and other groups
After finishing the morning peak of meal delivery, the courier brother Zhang Yunfeng rode to the "Red House" in Tianhong Community, Wenyuan Street, Tianxin District, Changsha City, Hunan Province, to receive free medicines and masks.
"I don't have a fever for the time being, but I have cough symptoms." Zhang Yunfeng briefly explained his health condition to the community workers, and received antipyretics, cough medicines and masks.
"Our front-line takeaway staff have contact with many people, and the risk of infection is high. The government department issued medicines for us in a timely manner, which made me feel very safe." Zhang Yunfeng said.
This "Red House" is originally a takeaway site.
Since March this year, Changsha City has pooled resources from all parties to meet the service needs of 9 categories of new employment groups, and has created 129 "red homes" for new employment groups.
Starting from December 29th, the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Changsha Municipal Health and Health Commission jointly set up a "shared medicine box" in the "Red House" to provide free nucleic acid (antigen) positive or symptomatic courier takeaways, truck drivers, and Internet users. Outdoor workers such as ride-hailing drivers distributed antipyretic and painkillers, cough and phlegm medicine, cold granules and masks.
"The 'shared medicine box' uses government procurement and corporate donations to purchase and raise materials such as medicines and masks." Zhou Xiao, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee and propaganda committee member of Wenyuan Street, said that in the future, the streets and communities will also call on residents to donate excess medicines to the "Red House".
At 10:30 in the morning, more than 30 truck drivers came to the "Red House" in the Chuanhua Highway and Port Logistics Park in Kaifu District, Changsha City. After the on-site staff explained the rules, they began to line up to receive medicines and epidemic prevention materials.
"I'm always running around on the road, so it's hard to buy medicines in time." Chen Hao, the truck driver, said, "This distribution of medicines made us feel the care and love from the government, and we can work with peace of mind in the future."
The reporter learned that the information about the "shared medicine box" is not only widely disseminated through the WeChat groups of various industries or enterprises, but the online map of "Red House" also provides express delivery staff, truck drivers and other groups who come to receive anti-epidemic drugs. Great convenience.
By using some map apps to search, you can accurately navigate to the nearby "Red House", and the awareness rate and utilization rate of service objects have been greatly improved.
