By cooperating with the requirements of the county epidemic prevention department and the park, it made great efforts in the logistics of epidemic prevention and production guarantee while implementing various measures, and brought full warmth and emotion to the employees.
Warm concern at the quarantine homes

Even many employees had no time to go home to pack their daily necessities and change their clothes. To understand their needs, the HSE Department, Logistics Department, and Administration Department established a WeChat group for quarantined employees. "Room 203 needs two pairs of slippers, Room 305 needs one tube of toothpaste, Room 308 needs two buckets of instant noodles..." one after another, all of those needs were registered and summarized one by one. Relevant daily necessities were transported to the quarantine homes in several batches by special vehicles, solving the urgent needs of quarantined employees. After the completion of the centralized quarantine, the subsidiary arranged a special car to pick up the employees at the doorsteps, giving everyone a warm and deep sense of security.

After receiving the instruction, the office of the company's epidemic prevention headquarters immediately arranged a site for nucleic acid testing and provided interval facilities for queuing. They were in close contact with the samples of nucleic acid testing, but they completely ignored their own safety. Instead, they organized and maintained order against time to complete the testing quickly and efficiently. On March 19 and 23, Elkem Xinghuo Silicones completed two rounds of nucleic acid testing, with a total of more than 3,000 people, and the results were negative.

However, since March 13, the disinfection and sterilization team had been persisting in the front line of fighting against the epidemic every day, silently guarding the health defense line for the employees. As of March 25, they had inspected nearly 400 vehicles before entering the plant, and meticulously completed the disinfection and sterilization tasks in various public areas.
