On his first day as an airport official tasked with COVID-19 prevention and control, Wu Ge was assigned to prepare a waiting area at Pu dong International Airport specifically for transit passengers.
The task would have been challenging for most people, but Wu took it and quickly distributed tasks to his colleagues. Together, they cleaned and disinfected the area, set zones for checking people's temperatures and filling out forms. It wasn't until the first passenger stepped into the waiting area that Wu finally took a break from his work.
Born in southwestern China's Chongqing, the 46-year-old began working at Pu dong International Airport in 2007 and is currently an official leading more than 300 staff members of the Shanghai airport authority's security check and protection department.
As the nation's busiest airport for overseas travelers. Shanghai Pu dong International Airport is currently battling the COVID-19 with closed-loop management. During this critical period, Wu and his colleagues have been assigned to a special task force in charge of separating overseas travelers into various categories, sending passengers to quarantine spots and safeguarding passengers during transfers.
"This job requires care, responsibility and hard work. Our teammates have sweat all over their bodies as they have to wear N95 face-masks and protective suits all the time. Each of us walks at least 30,000 steps every day. Sometimes we even hit 60,000 steps," he says.
Wu's work as the group leader is nonstop. Breakfast is sometimes the only meal he has in a day. Wu says he tries his best to reduce waiting time for passengers. He has also arranged for hot water and biscuits to be made available for passengers around the clock.
