As epidemic prevention enters a critical stage, a snowstorm recently hit Fushun in northeast China's Liaoning Province. The city immediately launched a plan to ensure supplies and fight outbreaks in the extreme cold.

The government has cooperated with community workers and leading professional teams to prevent and control the epidemic, while organizing people and special machinery to clear the snow and reduce the losses caused by the bad weather.

Fushun has more than 2 million people and is currently the only city in Liaoning Province with no reported cases of the coronavirus. However, a Fushun resident was diagnosed and later admitted to a hospital in Shenyang, the provincial capital. The authority said strict community prevention plays a crucial part in stopping the spread of the coronavirus in the city.

The neighborhood has created several down-to-earth educational slogans to further improve residents' understanding and awareness of the battle against the epidemic.

"As long as there is still a grain of rice, don't crowd into a crowded place"; "As long as there is a spoonful of oil, going to the market will cause a moil"; "As long as you have a spring onion, shopping is not a wise suggestion"; "Stay at home please, if you can still breathe," read some of the banners in the neighborhood.

These slogans can also be heard from loudspeakers, which are carried around in the streets by volunteers. 

"We should use advertising that people can easily understand and remember in the anti-epidemic education work," said Sun Shaokai, the community head. 

Residents also said the slogans somehow help relieve the tension of the intense anti-epidemic situation.
