China's Shaanxi medical team aiding Hebei heads home

Twenty ambulances and 44 ambulance crew members from China's Shaanxi medical team in Shijiazhuang have finished their work and left for their homes on Wednesday. Local police held a farewell ceremony at an expressway toll gate and saluted the team while watching them leave the city on January 27.

On January 14, the northwest Chinese province dispatched a team of 91 medical personnel to the city in north China's Hebei Province after a resurgence of COVID-19 cases was reported there earlier this month.
