With the current shut down being temporary, it’s unlikely that production will take a major hit. However, with the rising number of Covid-19 cases in South Korea, the firm might need to prepare for more possible shutdowns. Over the past couple of years, Samsung has shifted the bulk of its device production to India and Vietnam. Last year, it inaugurated the world’s largest smartphone factory in Noida, India. There are no reports of these units being affected till now.
