Disinfection operations are carried out across China to curb the epidemic of the novel coronavirus.
To minimize the spread of the virus, hospitals, markets, neighborhoods and sanitation facilities are the focus of the sterilization operations.
Monday is the first work day after the Spring Festival holiday, and more people chose public transportation than those in previous days. The disinfection frequency on buses and trains is increased in order to prevent the novel coronavirus contagion.
