The scene was quite different from the occasion in the previous years because of the novel coronavirus, which had resulted in 41 deaths in China by the end of New Year's Eve. Mostly in Wuhan, according to the National Health Commission.

Chen Li, a doctor in a Wuhan hospital, spent the Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve at home to quarantine herself for having had contact with infected patients, but luckily she has no signs of symptoms for the time being. Chen's husband is at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. “We haven't seen each other for over a week," said Chen. On Saturday morning, she put on protective clothing again and returned to work.

It will be completed and put into use prior to Feb. 3, less than 10 days away. "It's going to be another all-nighter. We need to speed up the work said Lyu Jun, a young truck driver at the construction site. This is his first Spring Festival away from home.
