The world's largest contract electronics maker said on
Wednesday it had restarted some production and operations at its Shenzhen
campuses after arranging for some staff to live and work in a bubble, an
arrangement requested by the local government as it battles the spread of
Covid-19.
The company said in a statement that according to a
government notice, it has "basically resumed normal work order and
production operations" at its major campuses such as in the city's Longhua
and Guanlan districts.
This is happening "under the premise of abiding by
epidemic prevention policies and strictly implementing epidemic prevention and
control", it added.
According to an internal company document reviewed by
Reuters, employees in the "high risk" area of Futian should continue
to work from home.
Only a small part of Foxconn's production for Apple's iPhone
in China takes place in the southern city of Shenzhen, with the majority
happening in Zhengzhou in the central province of Henan, sources have
previously said.
