Chinese President Xi Jinping has visited Wuhan for the first time since the city emerged as the centre of the coronavirus epidemic in January - a major sign that Beijing believes the outbreak is under control. The timing of Xi's visit indicates that China is ready to declare victory over the health crisis, which has killed at least 3,136 people in the nation and 4,062 worldwide, according to experts. Xi today inspected a 1,000-bed hospital constructed in 10 days to fight the deadly disease before touring a local community to call on residents in quarantine. His visit came as Wuhan authorities have closed all of the city's 14 makeshift 'fang cang' hospitals - which were converted from sports halls and exhibition centres - after they treated some 12,000 patients. It also came as unprecedented quarantine measures that have sealed off the city of 11 million and the rest of central Hubei province since late January appear to have paid off, with new infections dropping dramatically in recent weeks. A picture released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV through its official Weibo account shows President Xi delivering a speech at Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan this morning Huoshenshan or Fire God Mountain Hospital was built in 10 days to help treat surging number of coronavirus patients in Wuhan. CCTV has also released a video, which shows mask-donning Xi speaking to front-line medical workers and patients in the hospital through a video call Xi is pictured addressing officials working in the Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan today China state newspaper has urged its people to strive towards the 'victory of a people's war' against the epidemic. People's Daily wrote: '[We] should enhance the party's leadership comprehensively and work around the people to boost the people's power for seizing the victory of the people's war in controlling the epidemic.' Huoshenshan Hospital was built from the ground in just 10 days to curb the epidemic.

Solo Lunches And Masks: Chinese Returning To Work Grapple With...

By Sophie Yu, Yilei Sun and Brenda Goh BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Chinese government employee Jin Yang returned to work in Beijing this week to find his usual workplace rules upended as China battles a coronavirus epidemic. His office has banned the practice of eating lunch in its canteen with colleagues, in favour of boxed meals, packaged in house and eaten at desks, he said. "It's anything but normal," the 28-year-old told Reuters. Meetings are held online, instead of in person. Employees must wear masks all day and report their temperatures twice a day. Jin is one of millions of workers who began streaming back this week from Lunar New Year holidays extended by 10 days in China's struggle to rein in the virus, which has killed 1,380 people and infected nearly 64,000. But streets and subways are largely deserted in major cities such as Beijing, the capital, and the business hub of Shanghai, with many shops and restaurants empty or shut, while lots of office employees work from home. As many places still enforce containment measures, companies are adopting rules to prevent infection and banish employees' fears of catching it, such as keeping them as widely separated as possible. Not all companies have resumed work. Many that have are asking employees returning from trips overseas or other provinces to quarantine themselves at home for up to 14 days. A manager at one foreign multinational said staff were concerned, particularly after China's tough step in locking down Wuhan, the central city of 11 million people where the outbreak began. "They want no contact," said the manager, who sought anonymity as she was not authorised to speak to media. "Some want people to sit with empty chairs between them at meetings, toilet visits to be assigned at staggered times, and no sharing of the water dispenser," she added, listing the precautions staff want followed. Chinese media have posted photographs of office canteens where plastic sheets and wooden boards divide up tables to form segregated dining cubicles. An industrial zone in the central city of Changsha has started using unmanned robots to deliver meals, the state-run People's Daily newspaper said. Automaker GAC, which has joint ventures with Toyota and Honda, said no more than half its employees are allowed to work each day at its headquarters in the southern city of Guangzhou, with lunchtimes divided into four slots of 15 minutes each. It also rearranged its canteen, and shifted tables to an outdoor [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] terrace, with each spaced 2 metres (7 ft) apart. It has also swapped its previous buffet service for a menu of pre-arranged options. E-commerce firm Pinduoduo said its employees must complete a daily health-check form. It disinfects offices at least twice a day, and provides meals for everyone to minimize exposure. On the Weibo messaging app, the term "hardcore armour for returning to work" has drawn 140 million views, with users sharing safety tips, using videos and pictures. Some images showed people wearing motorcycle helmets at their desks with others in costumes similar to space suits travelling on public transport and some in homemade protective gear fashioned from plastic bottles.
