Recently, the recurrence of the epidemic in India has affected the hearts of people around the world. There have been data on 400,000 newly diagnosed cases in a single day in the local area for many consecutive days, which is very worrying.

According to related reports, under the heavy pressure of the outbreak, the local medical system has almost collapsed, and even the most urgently needed oxygen supply has problems, and even patients have died due to lack of oxygen.

Such an epidemic has also caused a very serious impact on local companies. According to the latest report, a person familiar with the matter disclosed that the Foxconn factory in India had to leave due to workers contracting new COVID-19. At present, the production capacity of the iPhone 12 has dropped by more than 50%.

It is reported that this Foxconn factory is located in Tamil Nadu in southern India, which is currently one of the states most severely affected by the second wave of COVID-19 in India. At present, the city has been completely closed, public transportation and shops have been closed in an attempt to curb the surge.
