Apple supplier Foxconn has stopped operations at its Shenzhen sites, in response to a new Covid-19 lockdown in the city.
Acoording to a report in Bloomberg, it has suspended operations
at the two campuses and has reallocated production to other sites
to reduce impact from the disruption.
The measures from the Chinese
government call for non-essential businesses in Shenzhen to halt until March
20.
The Taiwanese company, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, has
its China headquarters in the area and is a key manufacturing
site in Guanlan.
China has been operating a zero-Covid policy since
the start of the pandemic, a strategy that prompts swift lockdowns
and mass testing in affected areas.
