Diligent health teams work at grassroots level to protect residents
Editor's note: Rural areas, where seniors and children often account for the majority of the population, face new challenges after China adopted an optimized pandemic control policy. Doctors from village clinics and township hospitals tell of their ongoing fight against COVID-19.
In the week to Saturday, a village clinic in Anhui province received about 70 patients a day with fever.
Most of the locals in Chenxiaozhai village, Linquan county, have moved to cities across the country for work, but 2,000 residents remain in the area.
