CAEN, France – A French court on Thursday, May 7, ordered French auto giant Renault to suspend production that had resumed at a plant in northern France due to insufficient precautions against the coronavirus.
The car factory at Sandouville, which has almost 2,000 employees, resumed work on April 28 after stopping on March 16 due to the pandemic.
But the court in Le Havre ordered it to stop production until further notice because the resumption did not “ensure the safety of workers in the factory facing the risk linked to COVID-19,” according to the court order first reported by Norman media Le Poulpe of which Agence France-Presse obtained a copy.
The court ordered that production be suspended “for the time it takes to effectively implement measures” and also told the company to carry out a risk assessment.
French courts have already ordered United States online retailing giant Amazon to restrict its operations in France pending an evaluation of virus risks to its staff.
Amazon said on Thursday it now planned to extend the closure of its distribution centers in France as a result of the ruling until May 13. – Rappler.com
