The factory at Chongqing resumed operations on Monday following factory-wide testing over the weekend.
SK Hynix said on Tuesday that its semiconductor packaging factory at Chongqing, China has resumed operations after briefly shutting down due to a factory-wide COVID-19 test ordered by the local government. The Chongqing City government had ordered the factory to be shut down after a company employee, a South Korean national, was diagnosed with the virus on his return to South Korea during a checkup at Incheon International Airport. The employee had worked at the factory for a year and a half prior to his return. Following the revelation, all 2,700 employees at the factory and those they made contact with were tested for COVID-19 from Sunday to Monday, on orders of the local government.
