New Delhi: Ford said that it would shut its Spanish plant for one week after three employees tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) within a 24-hour span.
“We have had three positive cases of COVID-19 in the Ford Valencia plant in the past 24 hours,” the company said
“We are taking quick action to follow the established protocol, including the identification and self-isolation of all employees who had close contact with the affected workers,” the spokesman said. “We will take all other appropriate steps to ensure that risk from this situation is minimized.”
The plant was already scheduled to have three non-production days between Wednesday, March 18 and Friday, March 20. The plant, one of Ford’s largest outside the United States, employs over 7,000 workers and produces over 400,000 vehicles a year
