A Chinese industrial park that hosts an iPhone factory belonging to Foxconn announced a fresh COVID-19 lockdown on Wednesday, raising questions about its impact on the Apple supplier’s efforts to quell discontent at the factory.
The Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone in central China said it would impose “silent management” measures with immediate effect including barring all residents from going out and only allowing approved vehicles no the roads. The curbs will stay in place until Nov. 9, it said.
