Since the discovery of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Beilun District,Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China on January 1,2022,as of yesterday,Zhejiang has reported a total of 23 local confirmed cases, all in Beilun District,Ningbo City.The source of the virus is unclear.According to expert analysis and judgment, the possibility of "passing from person to person" is not ruled out.
According to the latest information,the number of trucks with whitelists/passes is still very small. The LCL warehouse in Beilun is not able to enter the warehouse normally,and most of the full container trailers are temporarily unable to proceed smoothly.We need to wait for the situation to become more clear,and the impact of this epidemic may be worse than expected.
The latest situation and impact of the epidemic in Beilun,Ningbo
At present,the Beilun Control Zone has been fully enclosed and isolated without leaving the house, strictly implementing home isolation control measures,and all commercial outlets in the zone have been closed.The personnel in the control area can only enter but not leave.The prevention zone has fully implemented the non-essential non-leave principle.In addition to strict route regulations when using the port pass,below the epidemic, including other areas of Ningbo,Zhejiang and all parts of the country have begun to set epidemic prevention and control requirements for personnel from epidemic risk areas.
As the second largest container port in China and the third largest container port in the world,the epidemic in Beilun,the core area of Ningbo Port,will be another major test for Ningbo Port itself, global port shipping and global supply chain.
It is hoped that this series of measures can take effect as soon as possible,and realize "closing the area without closing the port" and alleviate the pressure of foreign traders to ship shipments.
