A heavy snow hit Yantai, Shandong province from Feb 14 to 15, making epidemic prevention and control even more difficult.

However, traffic officers, community staff members and volunteers in the city continued to brave the cold as they toiled away on the frontlines.

They worked to monitor passing vehicles at highway stations, register information and take temperatures to keep local residents safe amid the epidemic.
