Apple supplier Foxconn Technology Group said its Shenzhen factories have restarted some production and operations under “closed-loop” management, which keeps all employees living and working on company campuses.

The resumption of business, following a two-day suspension amid a citywide lockdown, was only allowed on campuses that have both employee housing and production facilities, according to a statement on Wednesday from Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Technology Group. The company said it has implemented the required health measures for the employees who live on campus.
