This is the viral moment a kindhearted train conductor gives a face mask to a woman trying to breathe through her thick jacket on a train in coronavirus-hit China.
Following the coronavirus outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei Province, supplies of face masks have been dwindling across the country and are proving difficult to come across, according to reports.
This worried woman was filmed on a train in the northern Chinese province of Shaanxi, which has also recorded a high number of confirmed coronavirus cases, using her jacket to cover her mouth and nose.
