Novel coronavirus medical and epidemic prevention aid heading to neighbor Mongolia cleared customs and left the border checkpoint of Ereenhot Port in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region on March 25, according to local officials. 

It took only 10 minutes for the medical aid to get customs clearance, thanks to a fast track channel opened by Ereenhot Port, the largest border checkpoint or land port in China that opens to Mongolia.

Officials said the batch of epidemic prevention and control materials included novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection kits, medical protective masks, medical surgical masks and disposable protective medical clothing.
