Ford shuts two U.S. assembly plants due to COVID-19 infections GlobeBusiness
Ford declined to say which supplier had the issue, but a person familiar with the matter said Lear Corp. had closed a plant in Hammond, Ind., because of a positive test. A Lear spokesman declined to comment.It was the second day in a row Ford had closed its Chicago plant, after closing it twice on Tuesday after two workers on different shifts also tested positive. Both the Dearborn and Chicago plants are expected to resume production later on Wednesday, Ms. Felker said.
The U.S. auto industry, including Ford, reopened many plants on Monday after a long shutdown owing to the outbreak. To ensure safe operation amid the health crisis, Ford and other automakers and suppliers imposed new safety measures, including screening employees who enter the building, mandating the use of face masks and face shields and physical distancing along the assembly line where possible.
