Checkpoints Exclusion Zones And Quarantine: Reporting The Coronavirus

By David Stanway SHANGHAI, Jan 28 (Reuters) - A transparent plastic bag dropped at the door of my Shanghai apartment contained a handful of surgical masks along with a "friendly notice" informing me that I was under home quarantine for two weeks. The reason? I had briefly been inside the widening exclusion zone in China's Hubei province, including a stop on the train as it passed through Wuhan, the city at the epicentre of the new coronavirus. "People who returned from or passed through Hubei to enter the (Shanghai) municipality must actively submit to temperature monitoring ... and consciously implement home quarantine or submit to centralised supervision for 14 days," it said. The notice came from the Xujiahui District Novel Coronavirus-transmitted Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Working Group. I need to report my temperature by phone to a member of the working group twice a day until Feb. 10. It remains normal. As a nurse standing at my door explained, the best way was to place a glass thermometer under the armpit for five minutes. As she spoke, a neighbour looked on anxiously.

When I opened the door, they took a wary step back and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] asked when I had returned to Shanghai from Wuhan,the source of the coronavirus that has killed more than 100 people and infected over 4,500 in China as of Monday. One of the men informed me that I should know there is an "epidemic" going on in Hubei and I should be subject to special control measures, including two weeks of isolation at home. At a Shanghai government press conference on Sunday, a health official said the city was now inspecting 95 suspected cases. I wondered if I was included in that statistic. LOCK-DOWN As the number of reported coronavirus cases started to multiply last week, a Reuters multi-media team travelled to the city of Xianning, just south of Wuhan, on Friday to report on the effectiveness of Wuhan's day-old transportation lock-down. My journey included a 10-minute stop at an eerily empty platform of Wuhan train station. I did not see anyone board there. From Xianning, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] we reached Wuhan's southern border and spoke with the auxiliary police staffing the checkpoint. It became clear that it was relatively easy to get into Wuhan, as long as we didn't have wild animals or a fever, but harder to get out. Xianning itself was not in lockdown when we arrived, but within hours its major roads and train station were closed and we left in a hired car, escorted by police, as soon as possible. Police said that if we headed south immediately, we would be able to beat the lockdown. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, we sped south along mostly empty [http://www.caringbridge.org/search?q=highways highways] towards Changsha, watching bursts of fireworks on the horizon. At one packed service station, families trying to get out of Hubei ate instant noodles for their new year's dinner. It was a far cry from the traditional reunion feast. We arrived in Changsha early the next morning and I was back in Shanghai the same afternoon. (Reporting by David Stanway; Editing by Mike Collett-White)

China Search Giant Baidu Considers Making Own Electric Vehicles...

BEIJING, Dec 15 (Reuters) - China's Baidu Inc is considering making its own electric vehicles and has held talks with automakers about the possibility, said three people with knowledge of the matter, the latest move in a race among tech firms to develop smart cars. The search engine leader, which also develops autonomous driving technology and internet connectivity infrastructure, is considering contract manufacturing, one of the people said, or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] creating a majority-owned venture with automakers. The initiative would be a step up from internet peers such as Tencent Holdings Ltd, Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc, which have also developed auto-related technology or invested in smart-car startups. Baidu has held preliminary talks - without reaching any decisions - with automakers including Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd and China FAW Group Corp Ltd's Hongqi, on a possible venture, the people said, declining to be identified as the talks were private. Baidu declined to comment. GAC said it has a strategic partnership with Baidu and that any further cooperation is subject to discussion. Geely said it was not familiar with the matter. FAW did not respond to a request for comment. Baidu established autonomous driving unit Apollo in 2017. The unit mainly supplies technology powered by artificial intelligence and work with automakers such as Geely, Volkswagen AG, Toyota Motor Corp and Ford Motor [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] Co . Baidu operates autonomous taxi service Go Robotaxi with safety drivers on board in Beijing, Changsha and Cangzhou, and plans to expand to 30 cities in three years. It gained approval last week to test five cars in Beijing without safety drivers.

Meanwhile tech giant Sony Corp in January unveiled an electric concept car with self-driving functions. Building cars would represent a dramatic development in Baidu's push to diversify income streams as growth plateaus in its core search business, where revenue grew just 2% last year.

China apos;s Car Market Seen Rebounding From Virus As Lockdowns Ease

BEIJING/FRANKFURT, April 9 (Reuters) - China's auto market, the world's biggest, will gradually recover and remain stable for a long period despite short-term pressure from the coronavirus epidemic, officials said on Thursday. The statement came as executives from Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen said demand is rebounding in China after restrictions on social life were eased and dealerships reopened. China's auto sales dropped 79% from a year earlier in February due to the epidemic. However, the situation was temporary and didn't affect long-term trends in the industry, Cai Ronghua, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] a senior official at National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), told a news [http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=conference conference]. He noted the broader impact of any further downturn in the sector. "If auto production and sales continue to decline, it will not only affect the industry itself, but also affect the resumption of production in other industries, and may even affect the smooth operation of the entire economy," Cai said, adding auto production had not so far been affected by global auto parts supply disruption.

The SAIC Volkswagen factory in Changsha resumed operations this week, putting all but one of VW Group's 33 car and component plants in China back in business, VW said. Volkswagen Group China CEO Stephan Wöllenstein said: "Our dealerships are seeing customers on the showroom floors once again. There are growing signs of recovery, with a good chance that the Chinese car market could reach last year´s level in early summer." Daimler, which owns the Mercedes-Benz brand, said on Wednesday China demand had recovered to near pre-crisis levels and its factory in Beijing had resumed production running a two-shift system. "In China and South Korea our dealerships are fully open and we see a significant increase in demand there. That gives us confidence," Daimler board member Britta Seeger said. In addition to its Chinese plants, Daimler wants to resume production at its German plants in Untertuerkheim, Hamburg und Berlin on April 20, followed by a ramp up at its plants in Sindelfingen und Bremen.
