Chinese couples are sending each other 'bouquets' of masks and other essentials to celebrate Valentine's Day as the coronavirus outbreak continues
A courier from UUPaotui, a company providing speedy delivery service in China, delivers a mask "flower bundle."It's Valentine's Day, but the deadly coronavirus outbreak has prevented people in China from celebrating it as usual.
As many people stay at home during the virus outbreak, the company has witnessed a huge increase in orders that have payers and receivers living in the same city but in different locations. Meituan called the phenomenon a "long-distance relationship in the same city." Special "bouquets" full of essential items like masks, thermometers, vegetables, and snacks took the top-seller crown from real flower bundles this year, according to data that Meituan, a delivery giant in China with 5.9 million partner retailers and 700,000 active couriers, sent to Business Insider.
According to Meituan, the search volume for masks hit record highs this week. And besides the usual Valentine's Day notes like "I love you," a lot of customers are also writing "take care" and "stay healthy" in their gift order notes.
