Apple supplier Foxconn, as well as 100 other companies in China, have been asked to operate inside a “closed loop” for seven days in Shenzhen, China as the city battles another outbreak of COVID-19. This means that employees will only have contact with others inside the same network, and little to no contact with people outside of it. The Chinese government has asked companies to limit unnecessary interaction between manufacturing staff and non-manufacturing staff to limit infection. This could potentially affect Apple’s market and earnings in the long term, as it may limit the company’s ability to produce products.
