Several Tesla employees reportedly contracted the coronavirus after Elon Musk opened its factory despite shelter-in-place orders
According to the Washington Post, Tesla's May 18 agreement with Alameda leaders to reopen includes a provision to report all positive cases. However, that does not include the days when Tesla workers were in the factory in defiance of the orders.that at least four workers at Tesla's US facilities, including one employee at the company's joint factory with Panasonic in Upstate New York, which also re-opened in May, had tested positive for COVID-19.
For the time being, Tesla workers are working with more space between each other, regular temperature checks, and other guidelines as per the company's "return to work playbook" released in May. "We will continue to put people back to work in a safe and responsible manner," Tesla said in the playbook.
What's more, Tesla's own environmental impact report, published Monday, found a dramatic decrease in air pollution — something Musk has championed — thanks to shelter-in-place orders. "It is not hard to imagine that many cities could become electric-only in the near future as they begin to witness the impact that ICE vehicles have on air quality," it said.Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
