Iphone factory Faxconn (a 300000 mega plant) forces production despite covid-19 outbreak. Rumours say that around 20000-30000 workers are quarantined, but others – with test result or not – are forced to continue an 18 hours-long shift including weekends.
Workers are fighting for food and medicines. Some fought guards to escape. A few cases of suicide and rampage killing. Many walked days on the highway to get home.
While China maintains a zero-covid policy, Foxconn was granted a twisted exception- called closed-loop management, to not hinder the iphone14 sales.
Currently the factory is under military intervention, not sure yet if it delivers assistance or enforces production.
Edit:
Company affirms that the situation is under control, and the production is still stable.
