As the number of cases of COVID has been increasing in China, the local government is once again enforcing lockdowns in the country. This time, a new lockdown in the city of Zhengzhou puts the operations of the main iPhone plant at risk.
As reported by Bloomberg, Chinese authorities announced on Friday that areas in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone have been immediately quarantined. As a result, people cannot leave their homes until further notice. The report notes that the largest iPhone factory, which is owned by Foxconn, is located in this area. The company has required staff to do mandatory COVID testing in recent days.
