Kept apart by coronavirus, courier husband delivers message of love to nurse wife

How work and duty keep Shaanxi couple apart on their anniversary but a simple sign crosses distance between them. She’s been caring for patients in isolation with new virus strain since last month; he’s on the streets up to 15 hours a day, delivering essentials to homes. — SCMP

In what may be the most romantic gesture so far during the coronavirus outbreak in China, a delivery driver celebrated his wedding anniversary outside a hospital by holding up a giant card for his wife, an intensive care nurse.

Zhang Jiapeng, 25, came up with the idea after his wife was assigned to a fever clinic in Weinan, in the northeastern province of Shaanxi, last month when the pneumonia-like illness broke out and spread from central Hubei province.
