## Source excerpt

As many would have heard, Shanghai is now undergoing a major lockdown and quarantine due to COVID-19. In the midst of this lockdown, we received our production wafers of ESP32-C2, and proceeded with the verifications. Due to the quarantine, we have faced some logistics problems, but slowly, we have improvised, worked out solutions and continue to move ahead with the ramp up of this product.
