Coronavirus is still present in our daily lives, although this is, Foxconn Industries in China wants to postpone 50% production by the end of February. That was the information delivered by the Reuters agency today, confirming that a directive by Foxconn President Liu Young-Way said they hoped production plants could be reopened following a massive coronavirus closure and a warning to the World Health Organization.

Although the original idea was to reopen after the Chinese New Year, finally a decision was made to postpone the reopening because of WHO-issued guidelines, to escape the coronavirus of something far worse than a terrorist attack. Other reports released late last week also revealed that Chinese authorities were not giving the green light when they returned to work, so it was unknown when production plants could be started operating. Knowing this, we can assume that the situation is improving, and once the forecasts are completed by the end of February it should start to return to normal, reaching 80% of the product by March.

A similar Reuters report also looks at issues such as delays that would involve these production stops. It is expected that both the present and the future are affected, and also counting the expected launch of a new low-cost iPhone by Cupertino this March. From Foxconn they don't give the numbers, and they hope that with a little overload they can overcome the coronavirus-induced bump.
