The Hefei National High-tech Industrial Development Zone is striving to ensure enterprises in the zone resume operations safely and orderly during the epidemic prevention period.

Local government has made guidelines for the resumption of work and is working to implement planned prevention and control measures.

Government officials have investigated nearly 7,000 enterprises and 50,000 employees, especially enterprises with dormitories and foreign employees, to check if there are infection risks.

Employees are asked to have their temperatures taken, wear masks and disinfect clothes before work.

The government promised to help solve problems in production for enterprises engaged in industries relating to the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia and the lives of residents.

Enterprises will also get help in administrative approval to buy urgently-needed medical supplies from overseas.
