The Jingyuan government has implemented strict COVID-19 prevention and control measures and helped local poverty alleviation factories resume operations in an orderly manner.  Twenty-seven of the 33 in the county have come back online so far. These efforts make it possible for people to continue to work near their homes and increase their incomes.
