LONDON 4 May (ANA) - The University of Essex says it has been amazed by support from its Chinese alumni and partner institutions in China in response to the impact of coronavirus.

Huaqiao University in Fujian Province in south west China sent facemasks which have been used by the university's cleaning and accommodation teams.

Meanwhile, six computational finance graduates have sent facemasks which are being made available to staff and students at the campus in Colchester.

"We care about the university where we spent years studying and living," said graduates Yu Zhang, Sissi Wang, Shuai Ma, Ming Shao, Ning Yao and Russell Miao.

"We want to help as much as we possibly can."(ANA)
