The news around the coronavirus is not only related to health issues but also to the movement of the industry, and is that most factories are located in China and other regions of Asia where more cases of contagion have been found. The last to suffer the consequences is none other than the Samsung Galazy Z Flip .

Just as MWC 2020 had to be canceled due to the risks of spreading this disease, the situation is even more complicated for Asian regions where hundreds or thousands of employees are concentrated every day. For example, a case of coronavirus has already been registered in the South Korean factory where the new Samsung Galazy Z Flip is currently being manufactured, which led to the plant’s production pause.

Samsung is another of the companies with setbacks due to the coronavirus

At the moment it has been revealed that the plant in Gumi, South Korea, has found one of its employees infected with coronavirus , so preventive measures have been quickly taken and all the people who have had contact have been quarantined with it to test for a possible COVID-19 infection.

In this way, the factory has been closed in recent days until this day, while the initial plans consist in that employees can re-access the area where the affected employee occupied his job since this Tuesday, February 25 .

For those who wonder about a possible delay in the launch of Samsung Galazy Z Flip , this will not happen at the moment because at this point a sufficient number of units have already been manufactured and the impact suffered in recent days will mean a small decrease in the total production of the Smartphone.

As indicated in its launch last week, Z Flip is the brand’s new flexible screen option after the Samsung Galaxy Fold last season. This time its panel is vertically folded in half to significantly reduce its overall dimensions, while when unfolded it reaches a size of 6.7 inches in AMOLED quality.
