42 employees tests positive, Nokia shuts down the plant
By MYBRANDBOOK
The operations at telecom gear manufacturing plant Nokia was suspended after a few employees were tested positive in COVID-19 test. Though Nokia kept mum on the number of affected employees, a source on the condition of anonymity revealed that at least 42 employees were affected. The company said it had already implemented measures such as social distancing and changes to canteen facilities.
The factory had begun operations in a restricted manner during the past few weeks, Nokia said in a statement after India eased the world's biggest lockdown to kick-start its economy which has been pummelled by the shutdown.
"We hope to resume operations soon at a restricted level with skeletal staff strength," Nokia added.
Chinese smartphone maker OPPO last week suspended operations at a recently reopened plant on the outskirts of the Indian capital, New Delhi, after at least nine workers tested positive for the novel coronavirus. The outbreaks at Nokia and OPPO underline the challenges of easing the two-month nationwide lockdown.
India on Tuesday recorded a total of 145,380 coronavirus infections and a death toll of 4,167, comparatively low figures for the world's second-most populous country.
