Struggling to mitigate the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak, some Hong Kong companies operating on the Chinese mainland have adopted proactive strategies to offset heavy losses and keep their businesses afloat.
The abrupt disruption to their operations has inspired many to rethink development plans and explore new products and market channels, but experts have warned of the long-term risks of steering toward a new direction.
As part of efforts to detect suspected cases of Covid-19, the entrances of public places are manned to keep a tab on people’s body temperatures. According to Tse, it takes just three seconds to check a person’s temperature even if he or she is wearing a mask, and any potential error is limited to within 0.3°C.
He said new enterprises that can fit into the upgrading of the healthcare system to better prevent and make an early response deserve investment and to be included in a company’s long-term strategies. Besides the medical industry, enterprises in other sectors are also striving to combat the negative impact on business from the virus.
“With these measures, our sales volume at the end of February had gone up, compared with the beginning of the month,” he said.
