The team, consisting of both men and women, has embarked on what could only be the most dangerous journey of their lives for the sake of their brethren

The support team from Mihang was given instructions to trim their hair as close to their scalp as possible in order to enable them to cover their heads during treatment assistance to prevent infection. The majority of the team, however, chose to shave off their hair completely. Many women of the team were also in alignment with the decision. The hairdresser found their dedication utterly inspiring

The team has been provided maximum safety measures possible as they are to work in the hospital that is highest affected by the virus. Women are more susceptible to infection than men.
