The founder of Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has urged the country's smartphone industry to return to work.
Analysts predict smartphone shipments within China will drop by around 40% in the first quarter as the coronavirus disrupts the country's supply chain.
Numerous factories across China have suspended production as the country continues to cope with the outbreak.
Lei Jun, who is from the Hubei province where the virus originated, said he was concerned for his home region.
"I'm from Hubei and spent four years in Wuhan in college, so my feelings for Wuhan are quite deep," said Lei, while donning a facemask at the launch of the company's new flagship Mi 10 phone series.
