(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) British Chinese Society Donates Protective Mask to London Transport Bureau
China News Agency, London, May 4 (Zhao Xingyiping) The British Chinese Society donated 40,000 protective masks to the London Transport Bureau on the 4th to support its protection against the New Crown Virus epidemic.
The donation activity was organized and implemented by the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London, the Zhejiang Association and Trade Association in the United Kingdom, and the British Royal Meal and Catering Group. The donation ceremony was held at the West London Underground Maintenance Center. Deng Zhuting, Chairman of the London Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, Huang Ping, President of the Zhejiang Association and Trade Association of the United Kingdom, Lin Yijun, General Manager of Dynasty Fine Dining, and Spencer Bellom, a representative of the procurement department of the London Transport Bureau, attended the brief donation ceremony.
The London Transport Bureau is responsible for the daily operation and management of several major transport systems such as the London Underground, buses, taxis and overground railways, and provides public transport services to nearly 10 million people in London. Since the outbreak of the New Crown Virus, public transport services have maintained basic traffic, and many staff members have been infected by the virus and died. Urgently needed masks and other protective equipment.
At the donation ceremony, Deng Zhuting paid tribute to the workers who maintained the basic smoothness of the London transportation system during the epidemic, and expressed their sincerity and determination to work together with the British society in the British Chinese community to fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties.
Spencer Belon expressed his sincere gratitude to the British Chinese Society for donating the righteous act, saying that the donated masks and protective products brought great help to the safety of the bus drivers and other staff working on the front line. At present, in the United Kingdom, which continues to implement the "foot ban", medical resources such as protective masks have been in a dilemma.
Earlier, in order to maintain "social distance" in public places, London Mayor Sadiq Khan (Sadiq Khan) called for the implementation of mandatory rules for wearing masks; Boris Johnson, who has just crossed the new crown virus "Ghost Gate", recently said, Wearing a mask is a "useful means of epidemic prevention." Many medical experts and relevant government departments are worried that the promulgation of this rule will trigger panic scramble between the British people and medical institutions for medical resources such as masks.
