China's 'iPhone city' placed in Covid lockdown

A coronavirus lockdown has been put in place around the world's largest iPhone manufacturing plant in China.

The lockdown in Zhengzhou follows footage shared on social media of workers fleeing the Foxconn plant due to strict on-site Covid rules being issued.

Now, the area surrounding the plant has been put into strict Covid measures, with people being asked to work from home if they can.

Conditions at the plant have been described as "miserable" with low amounts of food and water and people confined to rooms as a result of the lockdown.
