Novel heroes: Cleaners guard the city from the virus

Sanitary workers in Wuhan said they are the first line of defense to guard the city and their people from the novel coronavirus.

They work non-stop to keep the city clean, without trash accumulating all the time, to prevent the virus from spreading.

Medical waste and household trash from quarantine spots and medical institutes pose a health risk to sanitation workers.

Despite that, the workers believe their ordinary duties are important to keep the city healthy and orderly.
