ZAGREB, March 24, 2020 – Primorje-Gorski Kotar County has received a letter of support from the Chinese province Liaoning with the message that the coronavirus can be defeated and that measures and restrictions can contribute to that.
The letter arrived via email from the international cooperation office of the Liaoning province, with which Primorje-Gorski Kotar County has been nurturing friendly relations for many years.
Liaoning said that the stringent measures taken by the Chinese government regarding the coronavirus, as well as the restrictions residents had to deal with, had been fruitful.
The province of Liaoning, which has a population of about 43 million, 127 cases of infection have been registered. To date, all of them have been discharged from hospital, except for a patient who arrived from Spain and is still being treated, the letter says.
It also underscored that people have been slowly returning to work in Liaoning and that the economy has started to recover.
In the letter they say that the epidemic will end, but they underscore that their experience shows that precautionary measures do not come to an abrupt end and that Chinese citizens continue to wear face masks.
Due to everything it entails, the epidemic is a challenge not only to our lifestyle but also to the way we think, the letter from Liaoning underscores.
