In the face of the severe covid-19 pneumonia epidemic, on March 27, Shanghai opened block and grid nucleic acid screening. Pudong New Area, which has a stock exchange and a number of securities companies, therefore pressed the “slow release key”, but the transactions in the capital market are still carried out in an orderly manner.
In fact, since March, when the epidemic prevention and control situation in Shanghai has been escalating, all securities companies have prepared emergency plans and adopted systems such as minimizing on-site office, AB rotation and 24-hour duty of key posts to ensure the smooth operation of transactions, asset management and other businesses. In the face of a new round of large-scale nucleic acid screening, people in the securities industry timely opened remote office, and some core business personnel rushed to the office building for closed office overnight, becoming a beautiful “reverse” in the epidemic.
“At present, the daily business of Shanghai Stock Exchange is normal, and the transaction arrangement is stable and orderly.” According to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, since the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has dynamically adjusted the epidemic prevention and control management measures according to the changes of the epidemic, and started the closed Office of the minimum operation team for key posts such as trading business and technical system operation.

“After receiving the notice on Sunday, Shanghai Branch immediately organized the business department in Pudong to take action, informed all customers that the business departments such as Century Avenue in Pudong New Area had suspended on-site business acceptance, and prompted customers to handle business online. As of the closing of the first closed day on March 28, the business department had completed all business work of the day through remote office, and the operation was normal.” Haitong Securities Company Limited(600837) relevant person in charge said.
