A medical team assigned to Kyrgyzstan to help with the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic returned to China on Monday.

Invited by the government of Kyrgyzstan, the 10-member team was sent by northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on April 20.

During their stay in Bishkek, they visited local hospitals and laboratories, communicated with officials and hospital principals, and held more than 20 seminars, sharing their experiences online or offline in epidemic prevention and COVID-19 treatment with some 15,000 medics and community workers.

On Sunday, Health Minister of Kyrgyzstan Sabirzhan Abdikarimov awarded the Chinese medical team medals and certificates of honor, and Vice Prime Minister Aida Ismailova expressed gratitude to the team, saying they had made important contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic.
