Apple is sending care packages that include iPads to employees stranded in China
They're also filled with medical supplies and food
In context: While the coronavirus is spreading across the world, China, the source of the outbreak, has suffered most. The virus has killed almost 3,000 people in the country and has been especially bad in Wenzhou and Hubei, where some Apple employees have been left stranded. But the company is trying to help its workers get through the ordeal by sending them care packages that include iPads.
According to Chinese social network Weibo (spotted by MacRumors), Apple sent employees stranded in Wenzhou and Hubei gift packages made up of face masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, coffee, tea, and food. They even include a new 10.2-inch iPad, which Apple says can be used to facilitate children's online learning or to help pass the time at home.
Apple also enclosed a letter, which was addressed to employees.
Dear Colleagues in Hubei and Wenzhou,
We hope this note finds you heathy (sic.) and well. Since the last communication with you, we understand that you are all staying strong in this challenging time. We understand the difficulties you are facing and would like to provide our best support to you and your families.

We are sending our best wishes to you, on behalf of the entire Apple Team, together with another CareKit for you and your families. In the kit, you will find comfort items and an iPad which can be used to facilitate children's online learning or help pass the time during the prolonged stay at home.
