The operation of East China's Ningbo-Zhoushan Port has remained smooth after it suspended all container services and ship operations in the Meishan Port area on Aug 11, after a worker tested positive for COVID-19 during routine nucleic acid testing, the Ministry of Commerce said.

As Meishan Port area stopped operations, part of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port's import and export business has been temporarily affected, said Gao Feng, the ministry's spokesman.

"The local government and relevant companies have taken effective measures at a fast pace to mitigate the financial losses," he said, adding ships in the Meishan port area have been re-deployed to other port areas within Ningbo-Zhoushan Port.

The Ministry of Commerce will work with other government branches to continue to strengthen the resilience and anti-risk capabilities of China's foreign trade, in particular its industrial and supply chains, in addition to preventing and controlling the epidemic.
