The virus was first reported in late December. It is believed to have spread to humans from wild animals sold at a market in Wuhan, a city in central China.
China set a record in identifying the pathogen in a short time following the outbreak of the contagious disease.
The World Health Organization(WHO) has declared the coronavirus outbreak from China a “public health emergency of international concern(PHEIC).” Meanwhile, the WHO delegation highly appreciated the actions China has implemented in response to the outbreak, its speed in identifying the virus and its openness to sharing information with the WHO and other countries.
To effectively prevent and control the current pneumonia epidemic of a new coronavirus, Chinese officials have limited transportation in and out of Wuhan and other cities. The government has extended its Lunar New Year holiday to Feb. 9th, 2020 to try to keep people home.
We are stay-at-home and try not to go out, which doesn’t mean panic or fear. Every citizen has a high sense of responsibility! In such a severe time, we can’t do anything for the country other than this.
We go to the supermarket every few days to buy food and other goods. There are not many people in the supermarket. There is demand exceeds supply, snap-up or bid up prices. For everyone who enters the supermarket, there will be a staff to measure his body temperature at the entrance.
Relevant departments have uniformly deployed some protective equipment such as masks to ensure the timely and sufficient supply of medical personnel and other staff. Other citizens can go to the local hospital to get masks by their ID cards.
As a foreign trade company located in Pingdu, Qingdao city, Shandong province, until now, there are 3 patients in our city, Pingdu. They are a family and coming from Wuhan city. Now they are all under treatment in hospital.
In this period, to avoid too many staffs to work together, all our office colleagues are currently working online at home. But our healthy workers has started to work in our factory to proceed our orders smoothly! And all the staffs will accept the body temperature before entering the factory! Besides, we will arrange the disinfection in the office and workshops 3 times per day.
It is not necessary to worry about the safety of a package from China. There is no indicat ion of the risk of contracting the Wuhan coronavirus from parcels or their contents. We are paying close attention to the situation and will cooperate with the relevant authorities.
China is determined and capable of winning the battle against the coronavirus. We all take it seriously and follow up the government’s instructions to control the spread of the virus. The atmosphere around remains optimistic to some extent. The epidemic will be eventually controlled and killed.
As an international trade practitioner, I have sincerely explained to each of my customers our current status. We don’t need to whitewash or conceal anything, because we have done our best to do a good job.
