Xiaomi, one of the leading consumer electronics company in China, has today announced that the company will be reopening its more than 1,800 Xiaomi Stores across the country after they were shut down because of the coronavirus.
The company has also added that it will be adopting strict measures for in-store disinfection, temperature measurement and along with some other steps. Xiaomi is also appealing customers for the safety and is asking for their cooperation.
Earlier, the company had shut down its offline stores in China and had said that the measure was necessary to assist the epidemic prevention and control work in China.
The suspension of factory operations could also lead to a snag in manufacturing processes and even supply shortages as many cities were under lockdown. The longer the factories remain shut, the larger the impact and uncertainty.

Xiaomi wasn’t the only company that decided to shut down a part of its business. Last month, major tech companies announced that they would temporarily shut down all corporate offices, manufacturing factories, and retail stores across China. These companies include Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max smartphones in the Indian market and is now reportedly all set to launch its flagship devices — Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro in the Indian market. Further, the company will be debuting the Mi 10 lineup globally on 27th March.
