Ford Motor Co. said after Thursday evening shifts, Ford is temporarily suspending production at its North America plants through March 30 to thoroughly clean its facilities to protect its workforce and boost containment efforts for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Ford said it will continue to work closely with union leaders to find ways to help keep workers healthy and safe, ‘even as we look at solutions for continuing to provide the vehicles customers really want and need,’ said Kumar Galhotra, Ford’s president of North America. ‘In these unprecedented times, we’re exploring unique and creative solutions to support our workforce, customers, dealers, suppliers and communities.’
