Zhejiang, a major industrial and export hub on the country's east coast, reported 44 of China's 51 domestically transmitted coronavirus cases on Tuesday, bringing the total since late last week to nearly 200.
These may include health monitoring and bans on using public transportation or leaving their home districts. Ningbo's Zhenhai district, a large petrochemical base, said all enterprises not related to virus control or deemed crucial to the public would be shut down and that petrochemical producers would have to reduce output.Several publicly listed companies in Hangzhou, the province's capital and largest city, have also released statements saying they had suspended production.
