The rate of employees returning to their posts in the province’s major industrial firms hit 93 per cent, according to a news conference by the provincial COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control headquarters on Thursday.
For the micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, the resumption rate is less than 80 per cent, Meng Chunlin, deputy director of the provincial department of economy and information technology, said at the news conference.
Hubei has introduced a raft of policies to support micro businesses and SMEs, including taxes cut or exemption and labor cost reduction, to cushion the impact caused by the epidemic and speed up the resumption of production.
