Legal analysis: If wages need to be paid during the epidemic period, and the enterprise stops production within a wage payment period, the enterprise shall pay wages to the employees according to the standards agreed in the labor contract. If the salary payment period exceeds one, and the laborer provides normal labor, the salary paid by the enterprise to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard. If the employees fail to provide normal labor, the enterprise shall pay the living expenses, and the standard of living expenses shall be implemented in accordance with the measures stipulated by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases. During the period of isolation, the people's government that implements isolation measures shall provide living security for the isolated personnel. If the isolated person has a work unit, his work unit will not stop paying his remuneration during the isolation period, and his wages will be paid by his subordinate enterprises according to the wages during the normal working period. Therefore, during the period of isolated medical observation, the employer shall pay wages according to the normal working period.
