The city will convert an industrial building into a new mask factory to meet the surging demand amid the coronavirus outbreak. The speedy construction follow’s last month’s building of a hospital in Wuhan in just 10 days.
The factory, being constructed by the China ɫèֱ²¥ First Group, is expected to produce 250,000 masks per day.
ɫèֱ²¥ started yesterday (Monday) with workers alternating shifts to ensure the project is completed by Saturday. To protect workers from potential infection, the construction company will take temperatures on a daily basis and set aside rooms away from the living areas for workers with symptoms, said Song Chao, a project manager with the company.
