On the government side, commerce authorities in Zhejiang are swiftly identifying threats the epidemic may pose on the production and supply chains and responding to the needs of export-oriented companies affected by the epidemic.
"As soon as the situation gets better, we will do our utmost to help trade-dependent companies in the affected areas resume production and operation," said Li Lin, an official with the provincial department of commerce.
"Policy-wise, we are mulling a slew of measures, including financial relief, tax breaks, and credit insurance, to help companies address unbalanced international logistics, cost hikes, labor shortages, and other problems," Li added.

Nationwide, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 on the Chinese mainland has posed new challenges to the country's epidemic control efforts.
COVID-19 cases involving Omicron have been detected in north China's port city of Tianjin and south China's Guangdong Province, another economic and exports hub.
Wu Liangyou, deputy head of the disease control and prevention division of the NHC, said China's health authorities are keeping a close eye on the latest research on the variant and making relevant judgments accordingly.
"At present, the Omicron variant does not affect the sensitivity and specificity of the existing nucleic acid detection reagents in China," said Wu. "The monitoring system in China can find the imported cases of the variant in time."
