While the global markets closely monitor the developments regarding the Omikron variant, the effects of the epidemic on production in China are also noteworthy. Many companies in Zhejiang, one of the production centers of the country, paused production due to the course of the epidemic.

Factories in China take a break from the epidemic

At least 17 publicly traded companies located in Zhejiang, the manufacturing industry center in the eastern region of China, suspended their production as the Kovid-19 outbreak in the country continued to negatively affect the region.

According to the statement made to the regulatory agency, the companies noted that they temporarily stopped production in order to be in full cooperation with the government's efforts to prevent the virus.

According to Bloomberg's report, the majority of these companies are located in the city of Shaoxing, which reported 55 of the 80 Kovid cases nationwide on Monday.

Public companies affected by the situation include electronics manufacturer Zhejiang Jingsheng Mechanical and Electrical Co. Ltd., LED company Zhejiang Yankon Group Co. Ltd., auto parts company Zhejiang Fenglong Electric Co., fan equipment manufacturer Zhejiang Jindun Fans Co. Ltd. and chemical product manufacturer Zhejiang Zhongxin Fluoride Materials Co. Ltd. is located.

Inventories of companies in the region, mostly in Shangyu, a district of Shaoxing city where the bulk of new cases have been reported, fell on Monday, including an 8.8 percent drop in Zhejiang Yankon.
