Today it became known that Pegatron, which manufactures some models of the iPhone, was forced to suspend the work of two of its factories – in Shanghai and Kunshan. Production will resume no earlier than the epidemiological situation improves.
Interestingly, Pegatron has until recently been able to keep production running as it was by using a closed system that reduces the risk of employees becoming infected with the coronavirus.
