Chinese people will appreciate and miss deceased nurse Zhang Jingjing and will always appreciate and remember the contributions made by medical workers in the fight against the COVID-19, said Mi Feng, spokesperson for the National Health Commission (NHC), at a regular briefing on Tuesday.

Zhang, a medic from east China's Shandong Province, joined the team treating COVID-19 patients in Hubei Province in January. She passed away on Monday from cardiac failure.
