MUMBAI| Nokia suspended operation at a telecoms gear manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, India last week. The company said on Tuesday after some employees tested positive of COVID-19.
Nokia Company did not disclose the exact number of the employees at the plant in Sriperumbudur but sources confirm they were at least 42. The company said it had already implemented measures such as social distancing and changes to canteen facilities.
The factory began operation in a restricted manner over the past few weeks, Nokia said in a statement, after the country eased the world’s biggest lockdown to kick-start its economy which has been pummelled by the shutdown.
Nokia added, “We hope to resume operations soon at a restricted level with skeletal staff strength.”
India on Tuesday recorded a total of 145,380 coronavirus infections and 4,167 deaths, comparatively low figures for the world’s second-most populous country.
