Millions of people in China Strict restrictions were put in place on Wednesday due to sporadic outbreaks of COVID-19 that have resulted in business closures and disruptions to the country’s largest phone factory. iPhone peace.

China is the only major economy in the world that is pursuing a zero covid strategy, using sudden lockdowns, mass tests and lengthy quarantines to root out the circulation of the virus in its territory.

In the country, where signs of opposition to the policy are starting to show, there were 1,241 new positive cases on Wednesday, most asymptomatic, according to the National Health Commission.

These cases include an outbreak at a factory in Zhengzhou city (center), which employs about 300,000 people and is known as the largest manufacturer of iPhone peace.

FoxConn Technology Group, which runs the plant, acknowledged the outbreak on Wednesday but said “operations and production … are relatively stable.”

“Health and safety measures for employees are in place,” the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer said.

The company did not specify the number of affected employees, but said it was “small” and dismissed unsubstantiated online rumors of tens of thousands of infections.

China remains tenacious in the fight against COVID-19

The Chinese authorities are not ready to relax anti-COVID measures, despite the decrease in the number of daily infections.

Japanese investment bank Nomura estimates that more than 200 million people have come under some sort of heightened restrictions this week.

In the northwestern city of Xining, with a population of 2.5 million, residents complained on social media about the grueling detention measures.

“Xining is like Shanghai in April,” said a user weibo in connection with the long and strict quarantine of the metropolis, which caused separate protests.

The situation has now improved in the city, the engine of the country’s economy, where authorities on Wednesday began distributing an inhaled anti-COVID vaccine.

The vaccine, made by manufacturer CanSino Biologics in Tianjin, northeast, was approved by local regulators in September and is being given as a booster to those already vaccinated.
