One day after reopening a Chicago assembly plant, Ford has temporarily shut down the factory because two employees tested positive for Covid-19
The plant, which builds the Ford Explorer, the Lincoln Aviator and the Ford Interceptor police car, had resumed production Monday after suspending production for about two months because of health concerns. Tuesday's stoppage was brief -- the plant was back in operation Wednesday morning. Still, it's a sign of the difficulty of operating factories while complying with enhanced safety measures put in place to deal with the pandemic.
But because parts from those employees' building are needed at the main assembly line, the entire complex was shut down. Ford has about 5,800 employees at the Chicago assembly complex. A separate Chicago stamping plant with just more than 1,000 employees remained open.Felker said Ford is confident that the employees had the virus before they returned to work because of coronavirus' incubation time."Our protocols are in place to help stop the spread of the virus," she said.
