When the virus spread around the world, as a foreign student, I was also greatly affected. All of our offline courses are taught online. But because of the epidemic, it is very difficult for me to go back to my country. And now the government requires everyone to be well protected before going out. For example, many supermarkets require citizens to wear masks before entering. Masks that can isolate the virus are also scarce. Masks and antiseptic wipes are almost out of stock at CVS and Amazon. At this time, I received a health package from my country. It contains masks, disinfectant wipes and other items. I think this health package helped me a lot at this particular time. It's also very important to me.
