On March 10, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on participation in epidemic prevention and control, service resumption and production. Ni Hong, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, stated that as of March 8, there were 192,500 housing construction and municipal infrastructure projects in the country under construction, and 111.9 thousand had been resumed, and the rate of resumption of work reached 58.15%.
Ni Hong said that some districts of housing and urban-rural construction have promoted the resumption of construction projects in an orderly manner. The implementation of the responsibility for epidemic prevention and control of construction sites and the implementation of responsibility for quality and safety supervision of construction projects are the bottom line for orderly resumption of work and production. There are many good practices across the country. Anhui Province uses face recognition + electronic fence technology to strictly manage the entry and exit of construction personnel; Shaanxi Province conducts a review of safety production conditions before resumption of work, and uses remote video technology to supervise on-site safety operations.
The second is the precise resumption of work and production in different regions. In view of the impact of the epidemic on construction projects and municipal infrastructure projects in different regions, all regions are required to orderly promote the resumption of work and production, and coordinate the return of construction workers, the supply of building materials, the prevention and control of construction sites, and the safety of production. For example, Zhejiang Province adopts "one map, one code", formulates five-color maps with counties as a unit, formulates prevention and control strategies at different levels, uses big data to establish personal health codes, and dynamically grasps personal health information, which provides guidance and guarantee for the resumption of work and production.
The third is to introduce policies to support enterprises to resume work and production. First, automatically renew corporate qualifications. For enterprise qualifications such as survey and design, construction, and engineering supervision, if the validity period expires before June 30, it will automatically extend to July 31. During this period, you can continue to participate in project construction and bidding activities. Second, encourage the use of bank guarantees and other substitute deposits to reduce the occupation of corporate funds; at the same time, encourage banks to support construction companies with good credit in terms of credit lines and loan interest rates. Third, vigorously promote the entire process of online approval of construction projects, using online declaration and online approval modes, and submitting materials promised to them can be supplemented after the epidemic.
