A new tweet from @CGTNOfficial China Global Television Network, or CGTN, is a multi-language, multi-platform media grouping. reports
#BREAKING#China reports 34 #COVID19 infections on Wednesday, all are cases that originated abroad, with 8 more deaths
Chinese mainland reports zero new domestically transmitted #COVID19 cases
COVID-19 recovery in China is underway and factory work is slowly returning back to normal. This is good news, and we hope to have a constant stream of updates for you in the coming weeks. That said, we’re taking it one step at a time, since factories are still at 20% of the normal manufacturing capacity and it’s hard to predict the recovery pace. So rather than offering you my guesstimates for particular device availability, we will make announcements once all stages of production are secured for each device. Frankly speaking, this also means that announcements will likely drop suddenly; so If you haven’t done so yet, this is probably the time to subscribe to this blog and be notified when it happens.
Other sources are also saying that factories are coming back online:
“In the last week, pretty much all the factories [in China] are operational again,” Walter Kemmsies, managing director and economist for commercial real estate services firm JLL’s U.S. Ports, Airports and Global Infrastructure group, said in an interview on Thursday. “The problem is they are only at 50% to 75% capacity. ... The problem is [getting] truck drivers.”
