Shanghai's charity organizations and the Red Cross have received 1.263 billion yuan (US$182 million) in donations to fight the coronavirus outbreak with 853 million yuan spent as of noon on Wednesday, the city's civil affairs authorities said.
Donations are strictly managed and the amount of donations and expenditure is made public daily via the bureau's WeChat account to ensure openness and transparency, said Jiang Rui, deputy director of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.
The use of the donations is based on demand from front-line medical workers, checkpoint workers and community workers, and six programs had been worked out and covered by donations after their demands were heard, Jiang told a press conference on Wednesday.
