They received body temperature checks and training before work started, with volunteers capable of using the sewing machines being more than 50 years old, on average.

Seventy-nine-year-old Chu Shudong, who had 30 years of tailoring experience, volunteered to repair the sewing machines.

"I've not done tailoring for 20 years. I'm old and my eyes are weak. I hope to do my best here and make more masks so that people are protected," he said.
