A subsidiary of Apple supplier Foxconn Technology Group has closed two factories outside of Shanghai after new COVID-19 cases were reported on site.
The factories operated by Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited, also known as FIT, are located in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, a small city situated between Shanghai and the historic Suzhou.
FIT’s website says that it supplies components for companies that specialise in wireless and Internet of things products, including its own brands Linksys, Belkin, Wemo and Phyn.
The South China Morning Post reported that operations have been suspended at two factories in Kunshan since last Wednesday and employees have been confined to their dorms.
