Apple supplier Foxconn has suspended its operations in the tech hub, the company said Monday. "Meanwhile, we have required all the employees to have Covid PCR test on top of existing prevention measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees," the company said.

It stated that the decision has been made to comply with the local government's new Covid-19 policy. News agency Reuters quoted company officials as saying that Foxconn and its subsidiaries' operations in Shenzhen would be suspended for the first half of the week.

The company has two major plants in Longhua Science Park and Guanlan Science Park in Shenzhen. One of the people said the government was allowing companies to operate if they could create a "closed management" system where employees would live and work in a bubble.

Such a system was in place during the Beijing Winter Olympics. Along with Foxcoxx, automakers Toyota and Volkswagen were also forced to shut some operations, raising concerns over supply chain disruptions.

ISLAMABAD: In a historic first for Pakistan, Imran Khan has been ousted as the prime minister of Pakistan from office through a no-confidence motion after the National Assembly debated on the matter for more than 12 hours and the political situation in the country took a critical turn.The session was chaired by Ayaz Sadiq — a member of the panel of chairs —  after speaker Asad Qasier resigned from his post.“174 members have recorded their votes in favour of the resolution, consequently the resolution for the vote on no-confidence against Mr Imran Khan, the prime minister of Pakistan, has been passed by a majority,” Ayaz Sadiq announced after the process of voting was completed. Once the voting was concluded and the result was announced, Opposition leaders delivered their victory speeches. The session has been adjourned till 11am on Monday, April 11.Despite the PTI government’s hectic efforts to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan, the historic session of the National Assembly to decide his fate began on Saturday at 10:30am in line with the Supreme Court’s decision. The much-awaited session, however, witnessed at least four breaks with the government seeking some way out of the situation, but in the end, the Opposition was able to get their way.There were many deliberations that the Chief of Army Staff Qamar Javed Bajwa might be replaced, but Imran Khan refuted the reports, and nothing of the sort took place.Imran Khan was elected on August 18, 2018, and his term ended on April 10, 2022.
