The coronavirus is on everyone's lips, provoking different theories, the most striking being the one that points to the fact that the Chinese government itself has created this virus to reduce your population. The focus of this virus is in Wuhan, where 132 people have already died and there are more than 6.000 registered cases.

During the last presentation of Apple's economic results, Tim Cook affirmed that the manufacture of his devices would not be affected at any time by the coronavirus, and that they had proceeded to temporarily close an Apple Store in the country in addition to reduce company travel to China

Apple's website in China has been updated a few hours ago to report the temporary closure of two Apple Stores. We are talking about the Apple Store Wonder City in Naning and Apple Store Tahoe Plaza in Fuzhou, stores that will remain closed until February 2. Both stores are located in shopping malls, malls that have closed their doors in an effort to stop the spread of the virus.

Apple relies heavily on Chinese component suppliers, some of which are based in and around Wuhan. Apple claims have a plan B if the virus incidence does not stop in the next few weeks, and the factories located in that area remain closed, so that sales are not affected by the unavailability of their products.

Foxconn released a statement yesterday stating that it has made all the necessary preparations to fulfill all your customers' orders without interruption. It should be remembered that Foxconn not only works for Apple, but also Google, Microsoft, Amazon, HP are some of its most valuable clients as well as various smartphone manufacturers such as Nokia, Sony and Samsung, although the latter to a lesser extent.
