At present, the new coronavirus has been classified as a “public health emergency of international concern” by the World Health Organization. As the epidemic continues to develop, many provinces and cities have confirmed that they have issued notices on delaying the resumption of work and implementing the strictest traffic control and port control. The epidemic broke out at a special time and had a significant impact on industrial production activities. Industrial production companies are in a difficult situation.
Discontinued! Delay resumption of work! The recovery of industrial production is facing difficulties!
In order to effectively prevent and control the spread of the epidemic, each province and city has issued notices on the resumption time of enterprises. Requirements for resumption of work in various places: Generally speaking, it should not be earlier than 24:00 on February 9. Hubei Province requires that all types of enterprises should resume work no earlier than 24:00 on February 13.
As a result, major industrial activities will be postponed for at least 9 days compared with the original Spring Festival holiday. Although various places have given “no earlier than” arrangements, the actual start of construction in some areas still depends on the progress of epidemic prevention and control, and there is a certain degree of uncertainty.
Since the epidemic is still spreading and in the process of prevention and control, employees are not actually willing to return to work. Judging from the passengers sent by national railways on the fifth day of the 29th and the sixth day of the 30th, passenger traffic decreased by 74.7% and 73.8% respectively year-on-year. The return of non-resident workers will also be delayed, plus the necessary 2 weeks of quarantine. Therefore, the actual return time for non-local workers may be delayed by 2-3 weeks, and in some areas the delay may be longer.
In addition, even if non-local employees return to work, how to arrange isolation for non-local employees? Can we provide sufficient masks and other protective materials for employees who resume production? What prevention and control standards and incident handling procedures should companies follow in the early stages of resuming production? These are all practical problems faced by enterprises returning to work. Especially for large-scale labor-based enterprises, the above problems are more prominent.
“No oil”! Motor vehicles are not allowed on the road at will! Logistics is blocked!

Currently, the prevention and control of the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus has entered a critical period. In order to win this battle, after research and decision by the Dingyuan County Epidemic Prevention and Control Emergency Headquarters, the relevant matters are now announced as follows : Starting from 0:00 on February 5, around the countyIf isolation measures such as isolation treatment and isolation observation result in the inability to provide normal labor, the enterprise shall also “deem it providing normal labor and pay employees normal working time wages.”
At the same time, we have also noticed that the capital chain of private industrial enterprises has generally been in a tight state. According to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics: In November 2019, the amount of notes receivable and accounts receivable of private industrial enterprises reached 5.025 trillion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of 32.3%, which is also the highest year-on-year growth rate since 2007. During the same period, the average collection period of accounts receivable for private industrial companies reached 44.6 days, which has eased from the peak in 2019 but is still at a historical high.
It can be seen that the capital chain of private industrial enterprises is already in a tense state. Coupled with the fact that fixed expenses remain unchanged, the epidemic brings additional labor expenses, delays in resumption of work, delays in order delivery, and increased protection costs for resumption of production during the epidemic prevention and control period. These difficulties will have a greater impact on companies that are already in trouble. If the capital chain of these enterprises is broken, it may lead to corporate bankruptcy and increased unemployment, which may affect subsequent economic trends. The above situation requires attention and full assessment.
The capital chain of private industrial enterprises is already relatively tight
For all industries, this epidemic is an unexpected “black swan”. We don’t know how long this black swan will last. All we can do is actively cooperate with the country’s various measures, go out less, gather less, and delay the start of work.
