Pairing assistance
It is a national strategy in China for one province or a major city to provide assistance to a designated region in need of help.
In the coronavirus outbreak, 19 provincial-level regions were paired with 16 cities in Hubei,
excluding Wuhan, to offer dedicated point-to-point help fighting COVID-19. For Wuhan, resources were mobilized from across the country to help the city battle the epidemic.
In total, more than 42,000 health workers in 340 medical aid teams were gathered from across the country, including those from the People's Liberation Army, to travel to Hubei to help their peers battle the disease.
