TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwan’s Foxconn said on Thursday that recent Reuters reports on its plant resumption plans in China were not factual.

Foxconn made the comments in a statement to the Taipei stock exchange, but it did not elaborate on its production status. The world’s largest contract electronics maker is a supplier to tech giant Apple and others.

Many businesses have delayed resuming output after the long Lunar New Year holiday due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus in China.
