In order to ensure the production of semiconductor chips during the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai, more than 6,000 employees of Hua Hong Group, one of China's top 500 manufacturing companies, temporarily moved into the company’s Shanghai plant before the closed loop management came in force. They eat and live in the compound and overcome difficulties to ensure the production of chips.

During this wave of epidemic, 6,000 employees are sticking to their posts in five production lines of the factory. The engineers' office area is busy and bustling as normal, and the production lines are running at full capacity.

The special 8-inch chip production line is located in a dust-free workshop. Inside, one shift is composed nearly 200 employees, including production engineers, front-line personnel, and even representatives of the suppliers. Also, in the fully automatic 12-inch chip production line, there are more than 100 employees operating and maintaining the equipment. These people are working hard to ensure production amid rising COVID cases and strict control measures, which reduced available workforce of the plant by about 40%.

Chips are a crucial cornerstone of the national economy and it is an important material used in all walks of life. That’s why on the evening of March 27, as soon as the news of the closure and control in Pudong New Area was announced, more than 6,000 employees rushed back to the factory, some of whom traveling nearly 90 kilometers from Jinshan District before midnight.

The plant compound is usually used for production and business only, but is now also serving as accommodation for all these people. There was no showering area in the compound, so the employees used their hands-on skills to find waterproof material and tools, and built a temporary shower house. The passages outside the workshops, offices, conference rooms and multi-functional rooms are now also ad-hoc domitories. It is under such difficult conditions that everyone is ensuring the output of chips while contributing to dealing with COVID-19.
