Ilic Nemanja came from Serbia to work as a medical staffer in Yinchuan, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, one week ago when the spread of the novel coronavirus already started. Despite being on the front lines of the fight against the virus, he said he feels safe there.

"I was surprised by how well the Ningxia government organized prevention of the coronavirus," he said.

Nemanja gets the latest status of the virus in Ningxia and also the whole country from the Ningxia government and also foreign affairs organizations every day.

"With my experience from Africa and Serbia, we had some similar things as we have here now," Nemanja said. "I can say as a citizen, I feel safe here in Ningxia. And as a medical staffer I can say it is a high-level of protection for coronavirus.

"All of us can feel safe here. I hope soon China will fight and win in this situation and stop the coronavirus infection."
