RESTAURANTS in Jing’an District are sending food to Shanghai’s medical workers to support their efforts.
The Laohongsheng restaurant on Wulumuqi Road M. has suffered a great loss in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak. But after receiving financial support from Jing’an Properties Co, the restaurant decided to pay this kindness forward by offering free meals to doctors and nurses at the nearby Huashan Hospital.
Since February 6, Laohongsheng has sent 100 meals daily to the hospital.
Even when most restaurants were shut to prevent cross-infection, district authorities allowed Laohongsheng to be an exception.
The time-honored Xinzhenjiang restaurant has sent free lunches to staff at Huadong Hospital’s fever clinic. From January 30 to February 1, it sent 225 lunch sets.
