Current situation in Suzhou: impact on the operations of DACHSER

A COVID-19 outbreak has occurred in Suzhou, China. According to an emergency notice from the Suzhou authorities, several new cases were reported locally.

As the situation is not improving in Suzhou, the local government is launching the second round of tests in the city. Meanwhile, more and more entrances of highways connecting Suzhou to and from other cities and provinces have been closed or restricted. Therefore, delays in cargo pick-ups and deliveries are expected even though the ports are operating.

The DACHSER branch in Suzhou keeps open and the employees continue to provide customers with effective supply chain management.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.
