Shanghai is cooperating with the other three provincial-level regions of the Yangtze River Delta to guarantee the full-speed resumption of the production of epidemic prevention and control supplies.

The Yangtze River Delta, a prosperous region of commerce and manufacturing industries in China, includes Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui in this calculation.

So far, Shanghai has coordinated the work resumption of 98 local enterprises that support the manufacturers of anti-epidemic materials in the region, Zhang Jianming, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, said at a press conference Friday.

"A total of 200 supporting enterprises of 38 relevant Shanghai companies in the other three provinces in the region have resumed their operations," Zhang said.

To maintain the overall stability of the industrial chain, authorities of the Yangtze River Delta have cooperated closely to ensure the return of employees and smooth transportation of materials.

Shanghai has given the green light for freight vehicles to transport freely in the Yangtze River Delta since Feb. 17, to facilitate factories resuming operation and people returning to work amid the epidemic.

The Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission announced that it had issued a special certificate for freight vehicles to travel trans-provincially within the Yangtze River Delta.

For those with financial constraints due to the epidemic outbreak, governments across the region have also introduced fiscal subsidies and emergency short-term loans to the manufacturers of epidemic prevention materials.

Amid the epidemic, many enterprises in Shanghai have switched to producing materials such as masks and protective clothing to bridge supply gaps, according to Peng Wenhao, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation.

According to Peng, the administration has adopted a fast approval system for the convenience of these companies.

"The companies can submit applications online and staff of the local market regulation bureau will guide them through production processes," Peng said.

Four companies in Jinshan District, one of Shanghai's major industrial bases, began producing epidemic prevention materials within 24 hours of receiving approval.
