An employee, on the condition of anonymity, said that there are reports of employees posted on the assembly lines of the factory getting infected continuously. In such a situation, the employees are feeling apprehensive about their lives and have started leaving production work. However, it has been said by Foxconn that the workers working in the factory have no contact with outsiders and the management is adopting a ‘closed-loop’ method to control the infection.
Foxconn has also not given information about the number of infected employees and the modalities of their treatment. In the context of the impact on iPhone manufacturing due to the increase in Kovid infection, Foxconn said that it will coordinate with other factories to allay any such apprehensions. It is not clear how many workers of this factory have left, but according to information available on Zhengzhou factory workers and social media forums, about one lakh employees of Foxconn’s factory have left.
