When emergency situations such as this COVID-19 outbreak occur, and the longer it lasts, there are high costs to both the individual and corporate sectors. The impact can be high without an emergency plan in place. Rifeng and many other companies that have been impacted have relied on their official policies and the quick actions of the corporate headquarters to ensure that all lines are back up and running to meet capacity. New reviews of emergency policies are also being worked on to improve response time.?
