Nowadays, the domestic epidemic prevention and control is turning better and shows positive trends. However, governments and organizations at all levels and the grassroots are still serious about the prevention and control of the epidemic and play their roles in defeating COVID-19.

IEEPA keeps staying in the front line of epidemic prevention. Our staff, including our interns who have just started their careers and volunteered to join, took turns to undertake the duty every day. Their selfless dedication indicates the power of public welfare from joining social organizations and taking action for the society.

During their duty at the grass-roots, the staff learned that, due to the long time span of the epidemic prevention and control, the great amount of front-line checkpoints, and the large number of participants, there was a shortage of the epidemic prevention materials. The grassroots leaders of the Zhandong Community of Jianguomen Subdistrict Office in Dongcheng District in Beijing asked the IEEPA staffs whether IEEPA can help provide some materials that are always in short supply because of the huge daily usage of the epidemic prevention. Facing the need of epidemic prevention at the grassroots, the leaders of IEEPA took the lead in planning. The mission is to meet the needs of the epidemic prevention. The development of social organizations is also indispensable from the support of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Nowadays, it’s our time to take action and we cannot set back. Therefore, IEEPA decided to take a proportion of the organization’s funding for purchasing materials, in order to ensure the needs of grassroots epidemic prevention materials, which is our priority, to fully support the front line of grassroots, as well as to contribute to defeating the epidemic.

With efficiently organizing and operating, IEEPA got the needed materials in three working days, and immediately sent the masks, disinfectants, and other donated anti-epidemic materials to the Jianguomen Street Office and the Zhandong Community where the association is on duty in the morning of April 13. According to the person who is in the charge of the sub-district office and the community, since the onset of epidemic prevention and control work, IEEPA have provided great support and it’s the second shipment of donated materials. At the same time, the volunteer from IEEPA are on duty when the flow of people is most concentrated, which helps relieve the work intensity and pressure of the staff in the grassroots, especially in the emergency response. There are many shining points worth learning.

IEEPA has just effectively dealt with a security risk emergency at the duty point of Zhandong Community. A Heilongjiang person who came to Beijing concealed his travel records and still occurred in the streets in Beijing when his was 39℃. The IEEPA staffs came up to take immediate action, a special process. On the one hand, they reported to the person in charge of the community immediately. On the other hand, in order to release the pressure, they started language counseling so that he/she should not be worried or afraid. They told the person that everyone came here to help and the medical services in Beijing are great. They also mentioned that, firstly he/she would be sent to take a test to see whether he/she is infected, if so, he/she can get efficient treatment, otherwise, he/she will be sent to be isolated in a designated hotel with great care. All the actions greatly eased the tension of he/she, and therefore IEEPA was praised by the community leaders and grassroots cadres.

In the afternoon of April 16th, at the interval between duties, the director and the party secretary of the Zhandong Community of Jianguomen Station came to the office of IEEPA in person with the community's Thank You Letter and certificates, showing their gratitude for such a strong support from IEEPA. Li Junyang, the full-time vice president of IEEPA welcomed them warmly. Li said, as a municipal first-class organization, the epidemic prevention work is not only IEEPA’s obligation but also the responsibility, and the community staff at the front line contributed more. He also mentioned, based on current situations, the epidemic prevention and control will continue, and the front line of the community is the most critical part at the moment. IEEPA hopes to continually promote the spirit of Beijing’s ecological humanism, "Kindness First", with the community cadres during epidemic prevention. We believe that, this experience will become an indelible memory in all our entire lives, because we used to gather and fight together for the safety, the health, as well as the harmony of ecology and humanism of our capital Beijing!
