Announcement of the Aachen Chinese Coping with the New Crown Volunteer Information and Service Center

To all Chinese, overseas Chinese, overseas students and visiting scholars in Aachen,

As we all know, the novel coronavirus has begun to spread throughout Germany, especially in Aachen and surrounding areas. How the epidemic will develop in the future is still unknown. At present, there is a shortage of anti-epidemic materials in Aachen and surrounding areas, including the Netherlands and the Belgian border. For example, anti-virus masks, disinfectants and related products are seriously out of stock. At the same time, the epidemic also caused panic among a large number of people, including the German people, and everyone began to snap up daily necessities and hoard food. In order to help everyone effectively prevent the epidemic and survive the epidemic while ensuring the quality of life, the Aachen Chinese Volunteer Information and Service Center for COVID-19 was established. It aims to help those who really need help who are unable to go out for shopping due to the epidemic, or who have difficulty going out due to family reasons. Currently the following groups are tentatively designated as beneficiary groups:

• Returning to Germany from home, self-isolation at home
• mother taking care of child alone
• Those diagnosed with mild symptoms must be isolated at home
• Suspected cases must be isolated at home

For the above group of people, we provide free home delivery service. The following merchants will work hard to ensure sufficient supply, so there is no need to panic!

• Wanjia Supermarket 0241 88804818
• Zhonghua Bank 0241 94315500
• Barley 0241 44658027
• June 0241 94377790
• City Garden 0241 4011090
• Ya 0241 4090096

If you belong to the group listed above and need to purchase or order food, please call the merchant's contact number first, and negotiate the payment method with the merchant yourself. The merchant will contact us, and we will send volunteers from Aachen to contact you and do a good job. Self-protection, delivered to your door. The Aachen Chinese Volunteer Information and Service Center for COVID-19 is based on the principle of public welfare, and neither charges delivery fees nor collects payment for the store! Our funding comes from voluntary donations from the Chinese in Aachen. Here, I would like to thank the above stores for their active participation and cooperation, as well as all the friends who support the work of the Aachen Chinese Volunteer Information and Service Center in response to the new crown.

In response to the epidemic, the Aachen Chinese Volunteer Information and Service Center has urgently purchased a batch of disposable masks through reliable channels. The first batch has arrived and is provided to all friends in need at cost price. After 14:00 today (March 4, 2020), you can go to Wanjia Supermarket and Zhonghuahang Supermarket to buy them respectively. In order to be able to help more people in need, there is a special limit of 20 per person. It will be renewed according to the development of the epidemic situation. If the epidemic is serious, we will provide you with protective clothing and other necessary protective equipment at the purchase price.

In addition, we have also established a medical expert group, sincerely invite professional doctors to participate, and provide free online consultation services. This will help everyone correctly understand the new coronavirus, take it seriously, be targeted, know what to do, and eliminate doubts and unnecessary panic.

The Aachen Chinese Volunteer Information and Service Center hopes that through this platform, it can help all Chinese in Aachen and keep in touch with the Chinese embassy in Germany and relevant government departments in Aachen for timely communication and exchange of information. Here, we once again thank the corporate colleagues and individuals in Aachen for their donations!

Let's work together to successfully fight the epidemic!
