This brings the total establishments allowed to do the job
to six in the country, and the ministry is considering to let others do the
same in the time to come so as to make it around 30.
The ministry has been ordering its affiliates to make
thorough preparations in terms of material infrastructure, equipment, personnel
and chemicals so as to cope with the epidemic. Besides, it has also
asked relevant ministries to stand ready to provide support in case of need.
