TAIPEI, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn 2317.TW was
not allowed to resume production in its plant in the southern
Chinese city of Shenzhen that had been shut due to the
coronavirus outbreak, a person with direct knowledge of the
matter told Reuters on Monday.
Authorities in the manufacturing hub of Shenzhen will check
the plant again later this week to ensure virus control measures
are properly in place, the person said, adding that employees
there were told not to return to work on Tuesday.
Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, makes
electronic devices for global vendors including Apple AAPL.O .
