BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday the government would prevent large-scale layoffs amid the coronavirus outbreak, Chinese state television reported, as he appeared among the public for the first time since the epidemic started.
Xi inspected efforts by community workers in Beijing to contain the virus, visited a local hospital that offers treatment to coronavirus patients and video-chatted with frontline medical staff in Wuhan. The virus, which has killed more than 900 people, has forced Beijing to extend holidays in manufacturing centers and impose severe population controls in major cities, exacerbating a slowdown in the world’s second biggest economy.
