Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak erupted in China, he has to take a health test each morning and spend about 20 minutes disinfecting(消毒)his motorcycle and clothes to avoid spreading germs during his route.

"I felt a sense of responsibility because I manage a team of other riders, and some were still working in Wuhan, so I had to help them, "he says. "All the doctors and nurses are coming to Wuhan to help, so we, the riders, should also fight with them on the frontline. "
The great news is that Li Jie, who is a common delivery rider in Beijing, attended the meeting about COVID-19 prevention on March 9th 2020.
