Volkswagen AG said Monday that it has pushed back the opening
date for some of its operations in China once again as concerns
about the coronavirus persist.
The German car maker said Saic Volkswagen--a joint venture
between Volkswagen and Saic Motor Corp.--would resume operations on
Feb 24.
FAW-Volkswagen, a joint venture between Volkswagen and FAW
Group, has already started production at some of its plants,
Volkswagen said, adding that it expects all plants to be
operational in the coming days.
"When production resumes at each plant, a safe and healthy
environment will be ensured through preventative measures, such as
regular disinfection of working areas, distribution of masks to
employees and temperature screening at the entrance of work
facilities," Volkswagen said.
