Huang Hong, the general representative of the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) in the construction of China-Laos railway, told Xinhua on Saturday that "the scientific guidance from the Chinese government's anti-epidemic medical expert team to Laos has strengthened our 'shield' against the virus, which brings us, the Chinese participating engineering companies on the China-Laos railway, fewer worries about the virus, but more confidence in overcoming the epidemic and completing the construction task on schedule."

During their inspection tours to the hospitals, when encountering infected Chinese patients, the Chinese experts would check the situation and cheer them.

The Chinese experts might also gifted some traditional herbal medicines to the Chinese patients, bringing them their familiar taste and smell, hopes of recovery and cares from the motherland.

The team of Chinese medical experts, along with medical materials, arrived in Lao capital Vientiane on Tuesday to assist Laos in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
