a large number of pharmaceutical enterprises are sealed off
Shanghai’s control of the epidemic is escalating.
On March 28, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a notice, following the principle of “no need to come to Shanghai, no need to leave Shanghai, and no need to hold the nucleic acid negative certificate within 48 hours when leaving Shanghai”, and now decided to implement traffic control in the batch nucleic acid testing area. According to the research decision of Shanghai covid-19 pneumonia epidemic prevention and control leading group, a new round of segmented and grid nucleic acid screening will be carried out in two batches with the Huangpu River as the boundary. Pudong New Area will enter a four-day strict sealing and control management from the same day.
On the evening of March 31, the “Shanghai release” wechat issued a notice requiring that from 5:00 on April 1, the screening results of Pudong, Punan and adjacent areas (including the whole area of Pudong New Area, Fengxian District, Jinshan District, Chongming District, Pujin street and Pujiang town of Minhang District, Xinbang town, Shihudang Town, Maogang town and Yexie town of Songjiang District) should be comprehensively studied and judged, According to the guidelines for classified implementation of covid-19 virus detection (for Trial Implementation) issued by the comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, zoning, classification and grid management shall be implemented. Previously, Shanghai has carried out nucleic acid screening in batches with the Huangpu River as the boundary, and implemented traffic control on the batch nucleic acid testing area.
According to the urban planning, Pudong strives to build an industrial cluster with Zhangjiang as the core and the source of participating in the global life science and technology competition, and the continuous emergence of “global new” products. In terms of layout, it includes five characteristic parks such as Zhangjiang pharmaceutical Valley, Zhangjiang Medical Park (Zhangjiang cell and gene Industrial Park), Zhangjiang innovative drug industrial base, Zhangjiang medical device industrial base, Zhangjiang headquarters park and Zhangjiang private economy headquarters park, as well as four other parks such as desaino old port base, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) biomedical base, Jinqiao area and World Expo area.

Under the condition of ensuring production safety and maximum reduction of personnel, it will fully implement closed management, and the majority of cadres and employees will be on duty in the plant to ensure production safety and market supply.
