Fifteen transport vehicles from Anqing in Anhui province loaded with 100 tons of various seasonal vegetables, fresh meat, protective equipment and epidemic prevention supplies arrived in Anting town, Shanghai's Jiading district on March 31.
This is the first batch of supplies sent from Anqing to support Anting town.
As Anting town in Jiading district and Anqing in Anhui province are partners in the integration of the Yangtze River Delta region, the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic cases in Shanghai has raised worries and concerns from people in Anqing.
Departments and companies in Anqing gathered resources and transport forces to ensure the urgent transportation of goods right after they received the call to transport goods, according to an official from Anqing Economic and Technological Development Zone.
Some of the supplies were distributed to residents and businesses in the lockdown management area of Anting town on the same day.
