Earlier today (30th March 2020), Xiaomi had announced that its Wuhan Headquarters has officially resumed operations. The Chinese company has just sent the first batch of employees to the site with “epidemic care packages” that included masks, hand sanitizer, and a red envelope.
The tech giant has emphasized prevention and caution at work for its Wuhan Headquarters. Xiaomi will operate on stricter prevention and control measures such as two temperature measurements, two masks, and a meal sharing system as well, all to build a strong defense against the recent Coronavirus pandemic.
The headquarters has just recently opened back in December 2019. However, the site was a force to shut down after confirmed cases of infection surfaced on 20th January 2020. Now, nearly two months after, the Wuhan headquarters has finally opened again after forcing its employees to take a vacation to set up an epidemic prevention and control team. Amongst the near 2,000 employees, everyone has been screened for the infection with no cases having been discovered so far.

Xiaomi Wuhan headquarters had started construction back on 25th November 2018 and is located in the Wuhan East Lake zone and features an L shaped design. Its total surface area covers nearly 52,000 square meters with 2 floors underground and 7 floors above ground. It can accommodate about 2,400 to 3,000 employees in total as well.
For those unaware, the Wuhan district in China was where the recent Coronavirus outbreak was first discovered. Since then it has spread to upwards of 178 countries, while the Chinese government had imposed lockdowns on the city and various offices and factories like the Xiaomi Headquarters, to curb the further spreading of the infection.
