Barely one week after it dispatched 15 doctors to Nigeria to support the efforts of Nigerian doctors in the fight against coronavirus in the Africa’most populous country, the Peoples Republic of China has made such other gesture to Russia.
This is as a Chinese medical team arrived in Moscow, Russia’s capital, on Saturday to assist Russia’s ongoing efforts in the fight against the dreaded disease.
The 10-member team, which departed from Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, also brought medical supplies including surgical masks, N95 masks and medical protective clothing.
