Although they are not frontline medical workers, many women workers, such as sanitation workers, delivery workers and railway employees are working hard at their posts to aid the epidemic prevention and control efforts across the country.

Zhou Chaoqun (R), a medical worker with a rural community clinic in Feidong, a county in East China's Anhui Province, tests the temperature of a man at the entrance of a village on February 6. Zhou and her husband Cui Aiguo, who is also a doctor in the community clinic, have stayed at their posts amid the novel coronavirus epidemic. They are preoccupied with publicizing virus-related prevention and control information, monitoring the temperature of those being quarantined at home, and conducting inspections of returnees from other places.
