As of 9:45 am on April 13^th, JD has transported 10,000 COVID-19 nucleic acid testing kits to the Suifenhe Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Heilongjiang province. With the increase of COVID-19 cases in the province, the small city on the Russian border with a population of just 70,000 was facing a lot of pressure.

After DAAN Gene Co., a Guangzhou-based leading high-tech company focused on molecular diagnostic techniques, reached out in the night of April 11^th with a request to urgently send nucleic acid testing kits to Suifenhe city, JD formed an emergency response team. Using a combination of air and land transportation, the company was able to get the kits to the Sunfenhe Center of Disease Control and Prevention on April 13^th. As nucleic acid testing kits must be kept under strict temperature conditions and have a limited shelf life, JD’s cold chain logistics network was essential to completing the task in a timely manner.

DAAN Gene Co. has worked with JD during the epidemic of COVID-19 in China to transport medical devices and nucleic acid testing kits from Guangzhou to other cities in China.
