Since the official launch of the normalized epidemic prevention and control volunteer service by Shanghai college students in June of summer vacation, through publicity and mobilization, organization registration, pre-job training, job matching and management, a total of more than 150 SDJU students have taken root in the frontline of this voluntary activity. In the face of the continuous record-breaking high temperature weather in Shanghai, volunteers didn’t flinch at all. They fought against the high temperature and bad weather, offering volunteer service in nucleic acid sampling, temperature measurement, code verification, campus guidance, material handling, information support, epidemic prevention propaganda and so on. The sprinkled sweat enriched their youth, witnessed their dedication and fulfillment of responsibility.
