China issues guideline on resuming work, production amid epidemic control

BEIJING -- The State Council has issued a guideline on strengthening enterprises' measures preventing and containing the novel coronavirus spread in a bid to promote work and production resumption in an orderly manner.

Differentiated moves should be taken in accordance with local conditions to enhance health management, said the document released Friday by the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council.

Personnel from regions hit hard by the epidemic should be quarantined or put under medical observation, while daily health conditions of all employees should be collected and reported to local health authorities.

Prevention and control measures in workplaces should be strengthened, while meetings should be reduced or opened, if necessary, through teleconference systems, it said.

Enterprises should also make efforts to enhance the publicity of anti-virus knowledge among employees, according to the document.
