At the isolation ward of children infected with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan Children's Hospital, many children were afraid of seeing the medical staff wrapped in protective suits. Wang Jia, a nurse in the hospital who likes drawing, came up with the idea of drawing cartoons on the protective suits and invite children to color them, a way to make these children relaxed. Gradually, many medical staffs are used to take time to draw some cartoon characters on their protective suits before seeing the children. Consequently, children became more cooperative with the treatment through this way. (Wuhan Children's Hospital/Handout via Xinhua)
