Policeman Yang Wei-cheng (楊惟程), based in Wanhua, Taipei, shared insights on his duty in the once epicenter of COVID-19 during the outbreak since mid-May through a virtual interview with NIA Global News Network.

Yang, from the Wanhua Precinct of Taipei City Police Department (台北市政府警察局-萬華分局), said he became a policeman following his father’s footsteps, now having four-year experience on crime scenes.
