The photos, taken on January 13, show passengers getting free masks from a mask distribution machine at the Changsha High-speed Railway station entrance.

Recently, a batch of intelligent mask distribution machines were installed at 18 high-speed railway stations along the Hunan sections of Beijing-Guangzhou and Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railways. One passenger can get a free mask each day, for not more than 7 days.

The railway authority stressed that, the free masks are for emergency usage. Passengers are advised to carry masks around to ensure personal protection. (Photo/Tian Chao, Deng Jingjin)
