　　Editor’s note: Foreign friends living in China and abroad who are concerned about China are all fighting with us against the pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus. As foreigners, how do they respond and fight against the epidemic? What are their true feelings about the epidemic situation and China's anti-coronavirus actions? From now on, Hainan International Media Center will launch the "Anti-epidemic • Diary of Foreigners" series, which will truly reflect the real-life of foreign friends living in Hainan during this special moments from their own perspectives.

　　I am Norbert Sporns. My life in Haikou since the coronavirus outbreak has been affected like everyone else. My approach has been to follow on my experience during the SARS epidemic in 2003, keeping hands clean, using alcohol gel disinfectant and limiting mixing in large groups of people.

　　我是生活在海南的加拿大人諾伯特·斯普林斯。我在海口的生活自從新型冠狀病毒感染肺炎疫情毒疫情爆發以來的確受到了一些影響，但我從經歷過的“非典”中得到了很多經驗，諸如勤洗手和不去人多的地方湊熱鬧。

　　Social contacts now for me are limited to grocery store outings and my daily two-hour walk. Measured on my telephone pedometer, I try and maintain 10,000 steps per day, about 2 hours of walking. Being on Haidian Island allows us the benefit of many well laid out walking paths through linear parks. Going on a long walk keeps me healthy. My strong immune system is my first line of defense in staying healthy.

　　我現在的社交活動主要是去采購以及每天兩小時的行走。用計步器算著，我爭取每天都要走一萬步。生活在海甸島的特別好的一點就是，我們可以享受到許多規劃良好的步行道，以及很多帶狀公園供人們鍛煉。在防控疫情期間，我一直堅持鍛煉，這讓我一直保持強大的免疫力，保持健康。

　　I admire the dedication of grocery store and produce market employees in providing us essential access to safe healthy food. In addition, I must say that the distribution of well-maintained public toilets is a great addition to life here.

　　我很佩服雜貨店和農產品市場員工為我們提供安全健康食品的這種奉獻精神。另外，疫情防控期間，維護好干凈衛生的公共廁所也為日常外出提供了安全保障。

　　I miss contact with friends and teachers, since I am a Chinese language student. I try and continue my studies at home.

　　我想念我的朋友和老師們，我一直在學習中文，現在我在家里也會繼續學習。

　　If I have one hope from this virus outbreak for the future, it is that we learn to be more careful in maintaining our health and respectful of the healthy needs of others. As a foreigner in Haikou, I applaud the great efforts made to provide sanitary walking facilities.

　　對于我來說，這次疫情的爆發讓我們學會更加地注重自身健康和尊重他人的健康需求。作為在海口生活的外國人，我稱贊海口在提供干凈的衛生設施方面所做的巨大努力。
