The response from Xuzhou City appears to be due to concerns that Corona 19 may be introduced by Foxconn workers.

In Xuzhou, 19 new corona infections emerged on the 25th19.
Compared to the recent number of places where thousands of infected people go out every day, the relatively stable COVID-19 quarantine could be disrupted by Foxconn workers.
