The Shenzhen region, China, is in quarantine after a surprising uptick in COVID-19 infections in the area.

The problem for some technology companies including Apple and Samsung, means that operations at Foxconn, which supplies most of the components and assembly of their products, have been suspended until further notice.

Although this should not continue to have an impact, the electronics market is already affected by a shortage of semiconductors as a result of these same events.
