The company said it plans to provide free temperature testing, sanitizing wipes and masks upon request. Shoppers will be "encouraged" to wear face masks and wash their hands frequently.
The company will give full play to the role of the country's advanced high-speed railway network, and improve the capacity of traditional passenger trains.
