China: Even though the number of corona cases has decreased in the world, the shadow of Corona has once again begun to surround China. In such a situation, restrictions and lockdown are being imposed under the zero covid policy wherever cases of infection are being seen in China. The situation is similar in the country’s Zhengzhou city, where Apple iPhone maker Foxconn has its largest factory. Meanwhile, the news is that to escape the restrictions, the factory workers are climbing the walls and fleeing.
Video viral on social media
According to the report, Apple employees are so scared that they are running away from the factory with injuries after cutting the boundary balls and factory fencing. This strictness of China regarding Corona became a problem for the employees and as a result a large number of employees are now leaving the plant.
Workers fleeing Foxconn plant
Manufacturer Foxconn’s plant in the city of Zhengzhou in China’s central Henan province employs more than 200,000 workers, but they have faced housing problems for some time. Indeed, such a situation has arisen after the cases of corona infection came to light in the city. Many such videos are also going viral on social media, in which workers of Apple’s largest factory in the country are seen running away from the factory.
A 100 km walk
The panic of the corona lockdown in China is so much that because of it the laborers and workers working in the Apple iPhone manufacturing factory located in the city want to escape to their homes anyway. In a video going viral on social media, escaped factory workers are seen walking through deserted streets at night with luggage on their shoulders. All these people are seen walking towards their homes. For this they are traveling up to 100 kilometers day and night. During this time they also have to eat and drink.
Lockdown under Covid Zero Policy
According to a Bloomberg report in the past, under China’s Covid Zero Policy, wherever new cases of Corona are coming up, the lockdown is being implemented again. Under this policy, a lockdown was announced in Zhengzhou, which has a large population. iPhone maker Foxconn Technology has a plant near the affected district, where a lockdown has been imposed. In such a situation, there was a commotion among the employees working in the plant and people who have already faced the corona restrictions are finding it better to run away from there to avoid the restrictions again and are taking such measures.
1 million people claimed to be confined to homes
The report also said that nearly one million people in Zhengzhou have been told to stay at home. Despite being confined to their homes, these people have been allowed to leave their homes only for corona testing. According to the notice, non-essential businesses were also closed under the lockdown.
