Jilin companies prevent epidemic, promote production

Northeast China’s Jilin province is encouraging companies to resume work in batches, urging them to continue prevention and control measures against the novel coronavirus epidemic even as they move to speed up economic development, according to local reports.

FAW-Volkswagen, the giant automaker based in Changchun, Jilin’s provincial capital, has resumed work.

Company officials said that the plants are disinfected consistently and comprehensively. All people entering plants need to wear masks and receive body temperature tests and workers get body temperature measurements every four hours.

Staff members are now provided boxed meals instead of eating in canteens, to avoid public gatherings. Training on epidemic prevention and control and emergency response methods is also provided to staff.

Wang Kaiyu, deputy Party secretary of the FAW-Volkswagen Changchun plant, said that four of the five production lines there had gone into operation and the company would enhance productivity to meet its annual production goal.
