Thank you very much for your kind mail and kind concerns!

Yes, we are all fine in Beijing. There is no problem with corona at our company.

Coworkers did not yet return from home, but they have been required to attend meetings via the internet platforms since the last week of February. We also need to hold meetings and talk to colleagues every day using the same internet platforms, we can work either at home or at the company offices. It is actually convenient and all of us learned to use the systems, although the effect is not as good as the meetings and face-to-face talking in the meeting rooms. But this is a very effective way to control the virus spread without delaying the company business.

My son does not need to go to school. But he needs to come to the classes everyday also via the internet platforms. He can listen to the classes, communicate with teachers and classmates using the same time table as in the school before. All teachings are being done remotely.

The virus is really serious and it is easy to infect human beings and get spread soon in a large scale. All of us need wear masks when we come to work in the company and go shopping in the supermarkets.

I have noticed that the number of the infected people is increasing in Germany. I thought the spread in Germany was limited to some large cities and more public places, I cannot even believe it was already close to your place. I really hope the spread will be controlled soon and the increase will be slowed down quickly. All of the people hope the life and work will go back to the normal state soon. Fortunately, it is basically controlled in China. You may notice that the number of increase is mostly 0 outside Wuhan.
