Volunteer drivers show bravery on front line
Team effort helps take medical professionals to work


Huang said:"As the old saying goes, 'every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country'. I was born and raised in Wuhan. When the city 'falls ill', I feel the responsibility to make a positive effort.
"What I'm doing is like ants at work. I know my own efforts alone are insignificant, but I'm glad that I can help others."
On Jan 26, the authorities in Wuhan said they had organized 6,000 taxis for communities and 300 buses for medical professionals and others who have to go to work. Medical workers can stay at hospital dormitories or hotels that volunteer to house them. A few hospitals have organized buses for these workers.
"The number of medical professionals in Wuhan is large, as is their demand for transportation. Volunteer drivers are playing an important role in the city," Huang said.
He has strict rules for the drivers-they must wear masks, gloves, goggles and protective clothing and disinfect their cars each time before they pick up a passenger.
There are some 900 medical professionals in Huang's motorcade WeChat groups. The coordinators pick up times and destinations to the drivers via WeChat. Passengers have to show their work permit for identification purposes.
