Company subsidiaries have established teams to keep employees
healthy.
The Chinese company that’s trying to acquire
Genworth Financial Inc. has joined the fight against the new coronavirus.
The board of China Oceanwide Holdings Group
Co. Ltd. announced Tuesday that the company will be giving 10 million
yuan, or the equivalent of $1.4 million, to the Wuhan Charity Federation,
to help the city prevent and control coronavirus-related pneumonia.
The Beijing-based company and its subsidiaries
have also set up coronavirus prevention efforts to keep the company’s own
employees healthy.
The severity of the coronavirus epidemic in
Wuhan began to capture the world’s attention in mid-January.
Public health officials had reported a total
of 6,072 lab-confirmed cases throughout the world, as of late Tuesday, and a
total of 132 deaths, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention
and Control.
Officials believe the actual number of
cases may be higher, because health care teams have had trouble coming up with
the time and test kits to test all of the many patients with coronavirus
symptoms.
China Oceanwide a real estate developer and
financial services company with headquarters in Beijing. It has been trying to
acquire Genworth — one of the companies that created the modern U.S.
long-term care insurance market — since 1996.
The company has established an employee
epidemic monitoring and hygiene system, is encouraging employees not to
believe or spread rumors about the new coronavirus, and is taking
responsibility for its share of society’s effort to fight the new
coronavirus, according to a translation of the China Oceanwide donation
announcement created by Google Translate.
“We are united in spirit and watch and help
each other,” China Oceanwide says in the announcement. “China Oceanwide
Holdings Group pays tribute to all the angels in white in the front line of
fighting against the epidemic, and salutes all the staff who are fighting in
the front line of epidemic prevention.”
