With the second highest number of confirmed and suspected diagnoses in China, Huanggang city in Hubei Province has been hit hard by the outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus [1]. Residents of cities like Huanggang and Wuhan have been instructed to stay home and suspected patients have been quarantined at designated medical facilities. This drastic yet necessary move by the Chinese government has undoubtedly led to a surging demand for non-perishable foods. In response to this mass-scale need for basic necessities, and also in an effort to aid the relief efforts in Hubei province, the Company immediately decided to donate 750 cartons of luncheon meat cans each to Huanggang Central Hospital and Wuhan No. 9 Hospital, respectively.

As the whole country continues to fight against this epidemic, the shortage of food supplies has become a serious problem that cannot be ignored. We are closely monitoring the needs of the residents in the affected areas. To support those patients and healthcare personnel battling at the frontline, we immediately made our inventories available to help increase food supply and delivered canned products to them. We look forward to working with everyone in overcoming the challenges ahead and aiding those who are currently fighting against the ongoing epidemic."
[1] 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. Early on, many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan, China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it's unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people. The latest situation summary updates are available on The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's web page 2019 Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan, China. |
