| Corona virus hits the door of Samsung |
Samsung Electronics, the world's largest smartphone maker, announced today (Saturday) that the case of the Corona virus has been confirmed at a mobile device factory, approximately 200 km from the capital, Seoul, which closed all facilities by Monday morning. ,
The company announced in a press release that the affected employee's work area would be closed until the morning of February 25. We isolated the colleagues of the injured employee who called him and took steps to check if they were infected.
Samsung Factory (Jome) produces only a small portion of the company's total smartphone production and exports flagship phones like Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip, which are mainly sold in the Korean domestic market and most of the smartphones are made in Vietnam and India made.
The injured worker is believed to be a member of the wireless service responsible for making smartphones, and the company's emergency team sent a text message to factory workers that the plant would be closed at the weekend. Because Samsung wants more measures to sanitize the workplace.
The company advises employees to wear a mask only if they return to work on Monday, and it advises employees to avoid internal travel rather than video conferencing for interviews, shuttling between the headquarters and receiving the factory (Gome),
South Korea said on Saturday that the number of people infected with the Coronavirus has more than doubled to 433 cases, while Samsung said the production of flea and sieve factories in other parts of Korea would not be affected.
New reports indicate that the number of small products offered may soon spread to all types of market segments, including consumer electronics and mobile devices, which could lead to higher prices.
According to Reuters, Samsung may face a supply shortage, citing the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade, as the Coruna virus epidemic makes importing material from China difficult, and the company believes this may be necessary at sea or in the non-air. The parts are imported to Vietnam.
If the coronavirus is not tested next month, Vietnam's assets will be depleted, and production of consumer electronics, including televisions and telephones, will drop dramatically, the report says.
Vietnam is Samsung's main market, as Samsung makes most of its smartphones, tablets and mobile devices in Vietnam. The company owns two factories in Thailand's Nguyen Province and produces about 120 million phones annually.
