Can clone method create object using constructor

Question

I always thought that clone() creates an object without calling a constructor.

But, while reading Effective Java Item 11: Override clone judicio

Answer 1

I think below part of code always create the new object and supply to the other class (i.e. helpfull in singleton).

 @Override
    public Object clone() {
        return new Foo(bar);
    }

I think this can be supply for the purpose:

public MyObject clone() {
    return new MyObject(this);
}
