Cities in the Yangtze River Delta region have been helping Shanghai resume production during the latest COVID-19 outbreak.

Specifically, the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, along with other cities in China, have been providing support to stabilize supply chains in Shanghai, facilitate cross-regional transport of key products and manufacturing materials, and help enterprises restart operations.

Taizhou in Jiangsu province has been helping supply chain companies affiliated with automakers like SAIC Group and Tesla resume operations and managed related transport permits.

Other cities in Jiangsu, including Suzhou, have been helping Shanghai tackle logistical problems and boost traffic flow for integrated circuit manufacturing enterprises based in Shanghai, such as SMIC Integrated Circuit Manufacturing (Shanghai).

According to Wu Qing, a member of the Standing Committee of Shanghai Party Committee and the city's executive vice mayor, cities from the Yangtze River Delta region have been working on a "white list" comprising key companies eligible to resume work  to ensure production resumption across the entire industry chain in the region.

At a news briefing on Tuesday, Wu expressed gratitude to cities across the country for their help in providing medical treatment and essential supplies, and reviving industrial chains.

According to Wu, over 26,000 medical workers from 17 provinces across the nation have taken on tasks related to medical treatment and management in makeshift hospitals in Shanghai. 

Cities from the Yangtze River Delta region, such as Zhejiang province's Ningbo and Jiangsu province's Nantong, have supported the construction of makeshift hospitals and quarantine sites in Shanghai. 

In addition, transit stations for daily necessities under closed-loop management and contactless transition have been established in Pinghu in Zhejiang province and Kunshan in Jiangsu province.
