A total of 100 Party members of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone Party Working Committee have been appointed to work at the frontlines of the novel coronavirus (now renamed COVID-19) outbreak prevention and control efforts, in response to the peak of the return to work in Qianhai.

They were assigned to oversee the implementation of the measures at construction sites, office buildings and enterprise parks of the three major areas of Qianwan, Guiwan and Mawan. They also manage temperature checkpoints, entry registration, personnel management and more.

On the morning of Feb. 10, the first workday after a prolonged Spring Festival holiday, Liu Sujun, a staffer at the Industrial Development Department of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone Authority, was assigned to oversee measures at the Qianhai Free Trade Tower in Mawan.
