Experienced male ICU nurse Yuan Weifang sticks to his post on the frontline of fighting against COVID-19 in Wuhan.
WUHAN, April 3 (Xinhua) -- Yuan Weifang was one of the first medical workers who applied to aid the virus-hit Wuhan City upon the outbreak of COVID-19. He got the approval to leave for Wuhan after the second application as a member of the eighth batch of the medical team from Shanghai to Hubei.
Dispatched to the Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan, Yuan had to battle the previously unknown virus head-on and spare no effort to instruct about 100 ICU nurses as one of the team leaders in ICU wards at the hospital.
"Each discharge of the COVID-19 patient from the hospital will ease our working pressure and make us happy, because the fight against the virus is our duty and responsibility as a medic," said Yuan.
