According to relevant requirements, the law firm takes epidemic prevention and control as the most important task, and gives play to the role of the party members as fortress and pioneer, and ensures that enough efforts are put into publicity and mobilization and that prevention and control measures are in place. Four things (family members, whereabouts after departure from Beijing, physical conditions, and relatives and friends visited) must be clearly grasped, and the epidemic monitoring and reporting system must be strictly implemented. During the epidemic prevention and control, the law firm suspends all collective activities to prevent cross-infection. All staff work remotely from home, and the law firm equips itself with corresponding monitoring devices and epidemic prevention supplies such as medical mask, special disinfectant, hand sanitizer, and thermometer, and the workspace is disinfected every day.
