Hunan’s transport sector has taken swift actions in epidemic prevention and control recently.

In accordance with current epidemic situations and the requirements of the provincial and ministerial authorities, the Hunan Department of Transport rolled out targeted working plans for the epidemic prevention and control in the sectors of road transport, waterway transport, highway service areas, urban rail transit, and railway special lines.
