Speaking at an evening news conference in provincial capital Wuhan, where the outbreak originated, Cao Guangjing said Hubei’s major producers of protective gear - such as masks and protective suits – had all returned to work as of Feb. 7 but some smaller plants had still not fully resumed production.
The death toll in Hubei rose by 81 to 699 as of Friday, the province’s health commission said on Saturday, with a further 2,841 cases detected, taking the total in Hubei to 24,953. The province had reported 69 new deaths a day earlier.Cao said the Hubei government would ensure supply of medical products for high-risk areas, organize purchases from around the country and worldwide, help local firms expand their production and ask for support from the central government in Beijing.
