First, each person must have theirtemperature taken, show their health code, and scan the "venue code"at the entrance of each community before entering. Delivery personnel need toshow their "electronic pass" and disinfect their packages. Theneighborhood committee must also keep an eye on the "group rent" or"daily rent" apartments in different buildings. And for those whodon't have an individual kitchen and bathroom, the committee staff will providethem with a portable【便携式的】 toilet to helpreduce the spread of the virus. 黄浦区将重点守好三个门。一是小区门，即进门人员必测温、必查健康码、必扫场所码、快递人员必验"电子通行证"、快递外包装必消毒。二是楼栋门,以楼栋为单位，加强对老旧小区内群租、民宿、日租房、"三合一"（住宿、经营和仓储在一起）等人员密集场所的排查与治理。三是居民家门，落实各类居家隔离人员管控措施，对不具备独立厨卫的居民，通过发放简易马桶等，做到"足不出户、服务上门"。

The hundred year-old Heng'an community inHuangpu's Yuyuan subdistrict achieved zero community transmission status inearly May. There are 346 households in this compound【复合物】 and one-third of the residents are over the age of 60.

We put a bag of flocculant into the toiletafter using it and it'll become dry waste that can be directly thrown into thetrash bin. It's clean and safe, and helps to curb the spread of the virus.

上好之后，我们把一包固凝剂倒进去，等一会儿就成了垃圾了，可以倒在这个垃圾袋，这样一弄就安全了，也不要出去聚集，也不要出去倒马桶。

Residents in the community are also takingturns using the communal kitchens to avoid gatherings.

2.NEW POLICY TO HELP MANAGE OVERDUE LOANPAYMENTS

新政策实施帮助修复征信记录

Due to the recent resurgence and subsequentlockdown, many companies and individuals are finding it hard to keep up ontheir finances. Late loan payments are logged【记录】 in their credit records, resulting in possible negative impacts ontheir future. A new policy has been issued by the central bank to encouragefinancial institutions in Shanghai to look into clients with difficulties, andhelp them recover credit records. Lei Shuran has more.

疫情对的反复和持续的封锁，给不少企业和个人都带来了财政困难，如果无力按时偿还贷款，征信记录上就会记录一笔"逾期"，这对于企业或者个人未来的发展，会产生不少负面影响。中国人民银行总行以及上海总部相继出台相关政策，督促在沪金融机构积极作为，主动排摸受影响客户，为其办理征信修复。记者雷舒然带来更多详细报道。

Mr Zhang owns an instant food company. Ithad a working capital loan of 22 million yuan due by the end of April, but dueto the outbreak, he was 8 million short. In his 30 years as an entrepreneur【企业家】, this is the first time he has missed a payment.

张顺君，是一家方便速食生产企业的负责人，2200万的流动贷款在四月底到期，受疫情影响，下游的800万回款无法到账，就这样，创业近30年，征信记录第一次产生逾期。

I was worried, very upset. Especiallybecause that some of our customers are in railway and aviation industry, and anormal credit record is an indispensable【必不可少的】 qualification to do business with them. 着急，非常着急。特别是我们现在做的一些铁路、航空客户，征信（正常）这方面是一个必不可少的（资质）项目。

However, just recently, the bank called toinquire about the reason for the delay, and offered to repair his credit recordand change the 'overdue' status to 'normal'. This is the result of a new policyaimed at repairing bad credit ratings when an otherwise profitable and properlyrun business is impacted by the pandemic.

好在近期，两人相继接到了银行电话，询问欠款原因，并主动提出为两人进行征信纠错，把"逾期"状态改为"正常"。原来，他们都是疫情之下，特殊征信政策的覆盖群体。

顾琴琳中国人民银行上海总部金融服务二部征信管理处副处长

In order to avoid the negative impact ofthe pandemic on people's credit records, financial institutions have beenrequired to proactively use their business systems to check overdue paymentslogged in credit records since the latest outbreak in Shanghai, so as toeffectively protect people's rights and interests. 为避免疫情对大家征信的负面影响，要求金融机构主动作为利用自身业务系排查上海疫情发生以来的逾期征信记录，切实做好疫情期间征信权益保障工作。

In 2020, clients would need to apply forsuch services by themselves, and institutions would need to confirm thesituation was true before making adjustments to credit records. The new policyhas institutions pro-actively investigate and get in tough with clients. The policy isn't only for business loans, mortgageand credit card payments due between March and June can also enjoy extensionsto their due dates, as well as credit record adjustments. There are alsosupportive loan elements to the new policy. For example, Mr Zhang's company wasassigned with task of providing meals for communities and makeshift hospitalsduring the outbreak. While repairing its credit records, the bank also returneda 3 million yuan payment, and extended its due date to September.

不同于2020年，客户需要主动向金融机构提出征信修复需求，机构方面进行核查，确认属实后，才可以调整。这一次，金融机构主动作为，自行排查后与客户沟通。该政策并不仅只适用于经济贷款，3到6月份之间到期的房贷以及信用卡客户也可享受享受延长还款日期或调整逾期征信记录。征信修复，从来不是单独存在的业务，往往要和信贷政策进行匹配发力。以张顺君生产方便速食的那家小微企业为例，疫情期间，他们接到了保供任务，为社区、方舱医院提供餐食，但是资金周转不过来，于是在信用修复的同时，银行主动退回此前企业缴纳的300万元还款用于周转，并将还款日延期至9月。

Zhang Shunjun, General Manager/ShanghaiXincheng Food

张顺君上海新成食品有限公司总经理

It is indeed a huge relief for me. Now wehave enough time to repay and renew the loan by September, and there's alsoenough left over to further develop and expand our business. 确实是心里的一块石头落地了等于是，因为9月份的话我们有足够的时间来准备还贷，包括续贷，包括也有足够的资金去进行进一步的业务开展和市场开拓。

Official data shows that in April, financialinstitutions in Shanghai adjusted repayment arrangements or repaired creditrecords for more than 85,000 individual clients. Nearly 2,400 companiesbenefited from the policy as well, 70 percent of of them were small and microsized enterprises.

数据显示，今年4月，上海地区的金融机构累计为超过85000名个人客户调整还款安排或征信记录，近2400家企业也享受到了同样的政策，这其中70%是小微企业。
