Since the outbreak of COVID-2019, TUS-EST and its key subsidiaries, as the key enterprises for local public health services and environmental governance, have made great efforts to guarantee the stable operation of their projects. The Company’s medical wastes and hazardous wastes disposal projects, as important parts of the chain of pandemic prevention and control, have played an active role in the prevention and control of the pandemic to ensure daily cleanup of medical wastes in the project locations during the pandemic period, especially in Hubei. For environmental sanitation operations and solid waste disposal, the number of waste removals and work shifts are increased to ensure normal operation of the solid waste disposal projects. In addition, safety of the water supply projects in the project locations are guaranteed. The Company’s zero-carbon energy platform, solid waste and renewable resources platform, water eco-platform and urban environmental service platform also actively assist local government departments to carry out pandemic prevention and control.
