In order to ensure the effective return to work, and to protect the physical and mental health and safety of its employees, the group studied and prepared a detailed resumption of output plan in advance.

Another manufacturer, Jilin Dahua Machine Manufacturing Co, resumed work and production on the same day.

The company also did its homework in advance, allocating specific personnel activity areas, disinfection areas and deploying staff members to conduct body temperature and health testing.

More than 30 production lines are now on the go there, with the supply of raw materials said to be sufficient. It is expected that the company will ramp up to a capacity of 100,000 sets of components per day after the resumption of production.
