BEIJING: China has released a set of measures to stabilise employment, including accelerating business resumption, encouraging online hiring and providing financial support for small firms, to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak on the economy.

This came as the outbreak disrupted businesses, and led to travel restrictions in some cities and the cancellation of on-site job fairs amid efforts to curb the spread of the virus, which has killed more than 2,000 people on the Chinese mainland.
