Guangzhou honors Huangpu individuals, collectives for COVID-19 fight

A total of 36 individuals and 12 collectives from Huangpu district were honored for their contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic at an award conference held in Guangzhou on Dec 10.

One of the winners, Huang Li, went to Hubei province on Jan 24 to assist at the initiative of her enterprise. She committed herself to renovating the labs of Huanggang Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Hospital upon arrival, and came up with the lysis buffer inactivated virus detection method.

After leaving Hubei, Huang also went to Qiqihar, Changchun, Beijing, and other places to fight sporadic outbreaks of COVID-19, serving as an exemplary model for young Party members born in the 1990s.
