Affected by the epidemic, many places in Zhejiang have suspended work and production, and logistics and transportation in Xiaoshan, Shaoxing and other places have been affected! Control continues to upgrade!
From 00:00 to 24:00 on December 9, there were 6 new confirmed cases (including 2 in Ningbo City, 3 in Shaoxing City, and 1 previously imported asymptomatic infection from South Korea was confirmed), and 23 new cases of asymptomatic infection ( Among them, there are 7 cases in Hangzhou City, 7 cases in Ningbo City, and 9 cases in Shaoxing City). All close contacts have been identified and implemented centralized isolation. As of 24:00 on the 9th, a total of 1,528 confirmed cases (282 imported cases from abroad) had been reported.
As the epidemic situation continues to become severe, various regions in Zhejiang are also constantly upgrading epidemic prevention measures! At present, parts of Ningbo, Xiaoshan, and Shaoxing have been upgraded to medium- and high-risk areas, and relevant control measures cannot be issued.
▶ Shaoxing city launches Level I emergency response
Among them, Shangyu issued a requirement: Starting from 2 p.m. on December 9, 2021, control and management measures will be strengthened in the entire Shangyu District. “Hazardous chemical companies must stop production in an orderly manner to ensure safety.”
▶Hangzhou issues restrictions on public activities in some areas
On the 9th, Hangzhou issued a notice on the implementation of restrictive measures on public activities in some areas: the implementation areas are Shangcheng, Gongshu, West Lake, Binjiang, Xiaoshan, Yuhang, Linping, and Qiantang. Close indoor closed public places such as chess and card rooms, bars, KTVs, mahjong rooms, board game rooms, and swimming pools.
▶ Zhenhai petrochemical enterprises reduce production burden
On the morning of the 9th, Zhenhai issued a notice requiring all enterprises in the area to suspend operations except for epidemic prevention needs and people’s livelihood protection. Petrochemical continuous production enterprises reduce production loads.
Most of these areas in Zhejiang where prevention and control have been upgraded are areas where chemical fibers are concentrated, gathering textile raw material production and downstream polyester consumption. In particular, textile printing and dyeing is the second pillar industry in Zhejiang after machinery manufacturing. Zhejiang alone accounts for more than 50% of the country’s printing and dyeing production capacity, and Shaoxing City accounts for one-third of the country’s printing and dyeing production capacity. It can be seen that it has a great impact on the textile industry chain. It can be seen that the current printing and dyeing operation rate is at a relatively low level compared with previous years, and this week the printing and dyeing operation rate has dropped again to about 75% compared with last week.
At present, the textile market is gradually cooling down. At the end of the year, factory finished product inventories are increasing. Near the end of the year, factories are also facing problems with capital withdrawal due to inventory constraints, and they all want to sell goods at low prices to relieve pressure. Although a small number of companies have placed orders for next spring and summer, the quantities are relatively sparse. In addition, the recent fluctuations in raw materials have caused a stalemate between buyers and sellers. Now that the epidemic has broken out, some factories are expecting to have an early holiday.
At the same time, the market this year is “uncertain”, and the skyrocketing and plummeting prices have made countless textile people unable to eat. With the counterattack of the epidemic, an atmosphere of panic has swept the market, and supply tensions may also gradually intensify!
