“All the JD vehicles were disinfected to secure safety against COVID-19 and we had all of our staff  nucleic acid tested,” said Lihua Zhang, a driver on JD’s truck team that supported the Shanghai International Marathon. “After all the marathoners started their races, we again disinfected any of their belongings stored temporarily in our vehicles.”
