A megachurch in Zhejiang participated in the epidemic prevention and control in a variety of ways as the cases of COVID-19 surged.
A new wave of the epidemic broke out due to four confirmed cases on August 2 in Yiwu of Jinhua. Rev. Xu Yaojin, senior pastor of New Grace Church in Yiwu and chairman of the Jinhua CC&TSPM and Yiwu CC&TSPM, suggested that the epidemic prevention department should set up mobile nucleic acid testing sites to meet people’s demands, which was adopted. The remaining personnel of the units in some special geographical locations in the sealed area could not go to the fixed sites for nucleic acid testing. The mobile nucleic acid sampling teams could provide door-to-door services for the elderly, disabled, and those who were unable to reach the solid sites within the jurisdiction, the church said.
Pastor Huo Pengfei was sent as a volunteer to be the code scanning specialist and driver’s assistant in the transit centers and mobile points of the Jiangdong Sub-district after the relevant protection training of professional personnel.
Besides donating money and materials, believers of the church participated in anti-pandemic activities, such as distributing supplies, maintaining order, and assisting with nucleic acid testing.
From 12 am to 8 pm on August 17, three new positive cases were detected during centralized isolation in the commercial and trade city. Since the outbreak occurred on August 2, Yiwu has reported 692 positive cases, including 91 confirmed cases and 601 asymptomatic individuals, according to the Yiwu press conference on epidemic prevention and control on Tuesday.

义乌市中心堂参与疫情防控
8月2日，浙江义乌市新冠疫情爆发后，金华市基督教两会主席，义乌市基督教两会主席，新恩堂主任徐耀进牧师，建议防疫部门组建流动核酸检测队伍，得到采纳，解决民众做核酸的诉求。因封控区内一些特殊地理位置的单位的留守人员，他们无法到固定的核酸检测点进行核酸检测。流动核酸采样队针对行动不便的老人、残疾人等特殊人群和辖区内无法到达固核酸检测点的人员提供上门核酸采样服务。据义乌市新恩堂。
为配合情防疫工作，新恩堂派出霍鹏飞传道为志愿者参与防疫保卫战。经过专业人员相关的防护培训，成为江东街道流动核酸采样队的扫码专员和跟车员，主要负责江东街道的运转中心和流动点位。
新恩堂还有信徒参与到发放物资、维护秩序、核酸采样等防疫抗疫的工作当中， 新恩堂还在积极倡议弟兄姊妹捐款捐物.
