Editor's note: Zhejiang province held its 32nd news conference on epidemic control on March 4, in which seven ordinary people were invited to share their experiences fighting the epidemic. Despite being ordinary everyday people, they have made extraordinary contributions to the province's fight against the disease.

Huang Guolan is head nurse of the infectious disease department at the Children's Hospital Affiliated with the School of Medicine of Zhejiang University. She has been working as head nurse of the hospital's temperately built isolation ward since the outbreak.

Taking care of infected infants is extremely difficult, according to Huang.

"Since we have to wear heavy protective gear and several pairs of gloves, it takes us at least three times longer than usual to give an injection to an infant, who has thin blood vessels and often won't sit still," said Huang.

Though the job is tiresome and requires her to work long hours, Huang still says it is rewarding.

"The smiles on the babies' faces ease my nerves and keep me going," said Huang.

Huang mentioned that she and her colleagues worked shifts to look after a premature infant whose mother was confirmed to be infected while pregnant. They made a plan to care for a three-month-old infected infant, buying clothes and toys, changing diapers and bathing her.

When the infected infant was discharged after 20 days of treatment, they wrote a letter to her father telling him everything he needed to do, and recorded a video conveying their best wishes to the baby.

Though she is happy to care for the infants at the hospital, Huang admitted that she felt a sense of guilt for her own four-year-old daughter who she hasn't seen in nearly two months.

"I hope that I will have more time to spend with my family when the epidemic is over," said Huang.
