The central government has produced a set of policies, and the policies will be adjusted in a timely manner in accordance with changes in the situation to protect small and medium-size companies from being seriously impacted, Xi said. 

Xi encouraged companies to return to normal operating condition as soon as possible and even make new progress. Disease prevention and control work should not be relaxed, while the resumption of work and production should be accelerated at the same time, Xi said. 

He told workers they should work to resume production and also protect their health.
