Chinese companies start to get back to work
Monday is the first official day back to work in China after the authorities extended the holidays in attempt to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
In some provinces factories gradually start to resume production. On Monday we even managed to conduct our first Quality control inspection this year in Dongguan city.
Still, public transportation between provinces and even cities is still difficult or blocked completely. Workers returning from other provinces are subject to quarantine for around two weeks.
In this regard we would like to provide you with the following information:
- We accept all the QC inspection requests, but the time frame for the arrangement fully depends on the accessibility of a certain factory due to transport limitations.
- Shipping times and tariffs also depend on transport complications. Delays are possible for shipments awaiting consolidation due to reduced cargo traffic at the moment.
According to the latest updates from our Chinese counterparts, this situation will start to change for the better after February, 21.
