As you know, thanks to the government’s great work for the prevent the pandemic, the control of the pandemic, I think domestic патување во Кина is very safe. Just from January to February, during the peak season, the normal peak season of the spring festival for China, because the government advocate people to stay home for their holidays, it’s a little decrease of this season. But after the spring festival, the demand has increased very quickly. I think from last month, from March, the domestic demand is fully recovered in time.
