Exhibitions of the 20th National Science and Technology Week are offering the public a glance at China's innovations in the fight against COVID-19.

Products, including an advanced wearable thermometer and rapid test kits for COVID-19, are being showcased at the main venue in Beijing. Visitors to the "cloud exhibition hall," launched for the first time, can see mobile makeshift hospitals, unmanned vehicle-based infrared thermal monitoring, reusable masks, and equipment for anti-virus drug research.

The annual National Science and Technology Week is China's most influential science popularization event. Models of China's lunar rover Yutu, underwater glider Haiyi, and the satellite Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope are also on display.

This year's event will last until Aug. 29.
