World's Largest iPhone Assembly Plant Under New Covid Lockdown
An Apple representative did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Zhengzhou has been battling a new wave of Covid. The city has locked down some districts as China pushes ahead with its zero-Covid policy, using testing and lockdowns to try and tackle the virus. The lockdown marks a retightening of measures in the region after Zhengzhou unexpectedly lifted some restrictions on Tuesday, the report said. The city reported 358 Covid cases on Tuesday, up from 95 on Monday.
Earlier this month, Foxconn implemented virus prevention measures such as requiring employees to have a Covid test within 24 hours of them entering the Zhengzhou premises and urged them to get vaccinated. Apple still relies heavily on China for the majority of its iPhone production, but the tech giant has been diversifiying its supply chain.that it is assembling its flagship iPhone 14 in India in an attempt to shift some production away from China, for example.
