China Anneng Construction Group Corp, formerly known as the hydropower unit of the nation's Armed Police Forces, formed a number of transportation, disinfection and emergency rescue teams to participate in the country's battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic.

The centrally-administrated State-owned enterprise has transported over 200 metric tons of living materials and disinfection products via trucks and helicopters to Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, according to the group's press office.

In addition to deploying more resources and manpower to fight the outbreak, Zhou Guoping, chairman of China Anneng, said the group has already stepped up efforts in resuming work and production across China. Based on local conditions, its branches have adopted flexible arrangements in resuming work.

Supported by over 5,000 employees, China Anneng is conducting a number of infrastructure projects in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and Southwest China's Sichuan and East China's Fujian provinces.

China to date has 96 central SOEs. They have played an essential role in assisting the government in producing materials for epidemic prevention and control, building medical infrastructure and other supporting infrastructure facilities, and supplying food, power and enhanced communication networks in Hubei province.
