1. Decrease in the number of tourists: As COVID-19 will spread through contact, in order to prevent the virus from spreading further, the state requires residents to isolate themselves at home and not to go out, which has had a huge impact on the national tourism industry and a negative impact on railway transportation. The delay in resuming business and the sharp decrease in personnel flow have led to a sharp decrease in the number of tourists transported.
2. Increased cost of railway transportation: Affected by COVID-19, an emergency team for railway epidemic prevention was added. The increase of the team needs to be equipped with first-aid personnel, cleaning personnel, trainers and other human resources, and all kinds of disinfection and epidemic prevention equipment must be purchased. Moreover, railway and other transportation departments have also opened up green channels and set up epidemic prevention special trains, which will lead to high transportation costs and management costs for railway departments.
