Poverty Alleviation Office: Do n’t block out poor outdoor migrant workers under the pretext of epidemic prevention

Chinanews.com, February 25th. According to the official WeChat message from the State Poverty Alleviation Office, the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office said that recently, some localities and units have found problems in damaging the rights and interests of poor households during the epidemic prevention and control. The State Council's Poverty Alleviation Office stated that it must support and help poor outdoor migrant workers. We must not simply use epidemic prevention as an excuse to "push it, block it", and hinder poor outdoor employment.

The Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council proposes that, in accordance with the unified deployment of the joint prevention and control mechanism, and in accordance with the requirements of "zoning and grading" and "orderly shifting in batches", the poor labor force should be given priority to return to work and go out to work, and actively provide necessary support and Services to help them return to work as soon as possible to increase their income.

The State Council's Poverty Alleviation Office requires that multiple measures be taken to reduce the burden on poor households. It is necessary to give play to the role of grass-roots organizations and cadres in poverty alleviation in villages, pay close attention to the production and living difficulties of poor households during epidemic prevention and control, and timely understand, take multiple measures, and properly solve them. For poor households who are to be segregated, it is necessary to arrange their living and other living problems to prevent new difficulties in life.

The Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council has clarified and standardized the prevention and control of epidemics. In accordance with national and local prevention and control work deployment requirements, strictly abide by relevant regulations, comply with laws and regulations and control, and do not take excessive restrictions, simple "one size fits all", mandatory allocation, etc., and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the poor.
