Tian Guoliang is one of the 8,700 grid-based community workers of some 13,000 grids in Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Central China's Hubei province.

Grid workers have been striving to guarantee people's everyday needs by providing home delivery of necessities, as local residents have been isolated at home to prevent the spread of the virus since the city was locked down on Jan 23. Each worker takes care of 300 to 500 households.

Besides arranging volunteers to help deliver necessities for local residents, Tian also took charge of recording the body temperature of local residents from 500 households.

The delivery on March 4, along with the meat and vegetables bought by residents, included instant hot-dry noodles, the most favorite and typical local food.
