Beijing,

China’s Zhengzhou is home to Apple’s biggest iPhone factory, Boxcon, which manufactures Apple’s electronic devices. 3 lakh people work there.

Due to the increasing number of cases of corona virus in China, the government of the country has instructed the respective district and city administrations to take strict corona prevention and control measures. In China, the government is working hard to control the spread of the corona virus. Accordingly strict curfew is enforced from time to time.

In this case, corona infection has been confirmed for many employees in the iPhone factory. Most of the people working there are migrant workers. Lockdown has been implemented in the I-Phone factory due to the increasing number of corona cases in Chengzhou area.

Following this, a video of the employees, who were afraid of the lockdown, jumped over the factory fence and fled to their hometowns, is being shared on social media there. Stephen McDonnell, editor of the BBC News Agency in China, shared this on his Twitter page.

As there is no transport facility due to the lockdown, the employees go to their hometowns on foot. The people of their respective areas help them by giving them food on the roadsides. These scenes are widely shared on social media.
