Since the outbreak of COVID-19, China’s provinces, autonomous regions and
province-level municipalities have successively launched public health emergency
plans in their respective administrative regions and taken actions to contain
COVID-19. Local governments in regions such as Zhejiang, Gansu, Anhui and
Shanghai have set out requirements that enterprises should prepare emergency
plans for the prevention and control of COVID-19 in the form of notices on the
prevention and control of COVID-19 and the resumption of work. Some notices
have emphasized that the responsible person in the enterprise should lead the

business features and characteristics may differ among enterprises.
