Following efforts by the Tianjin authorities to strike a balance between fighting the epidemic and putting in place measures to revive the economy, nearly half of the city’s service industries have restarted operations, working to support the increasing number of companies and workers that are also settling back into work.
To date, service sectors including catering, hospitality, housekeeping, beauty and hairdressing have resumed work in an orderly manner.
Currently in Tianjin, large-sized companies lead the resumption: 93 percent of the top 100 wholesale and retailing companies; 72 percent of the top 50 companies in the hotel and catering industry; 79 percent of the 225 key companies in transportation; and 92 percent of the top 50 companies in other for-profit services have all returned to work.
All window units of banks, insurance, securities and 37 key financial leasing companies have resumed business.
Enterprises involved in the city’s operation, people's livelihoods and anti-epidemic control had already returned to work earlier. Among them, supermarkets, brand convenience stores, and gas stations have all stayed open.
All the Tianjin distribution centers belonging to a total of 17 express companies above designated size have resumed work.
