Influence of epidemic situation on logistics industry

The impact of the epidemic on the logistics industry is as follows:

1. The transportation channel is blocked. In order to prevent and control the epidemic, when the epidemic is serious, many areas in China implement traffic control, some villages close roads, many communities adopt closed management methods, and the global traffic network is blocked, which brings great pressure on the timeliness and cost of logistics. With the national epidemic control and the introduction of local government transportation logistics policies, the transportation network will be gradually unblocked.

2. Insufficient storage capacity. For the epidemic situation in COVID-19, different kinds of epidemic prevention materials from all over the world have to be sorted and repackaged in specific warehouses during the epidemic period, so that they can finally be delivered on time and with good quality. The explosion of epidemic prevention materials requires huge storage capacity, which puts great pressure on warehouse resources in epidemic areas.

3. Personnel safety. Since the outbreak of new crown pneumonia, couriers and truck drivers have become typical "retrograde" groups, providing people with basic living security. Because the courier contacts many people outdoors every day, the safety of the courier deserves attention. During the normalization of the epidemic, the courier was trained in safety and equipped with protective equipment such as masks, disinfectant and protective clothing.
