General Motors Company’s GM joint venture in Shanghai, China, is continuing production amid lockdown by making workers sleep on factory floors, Reuters reported.
The company has formed an arrangement in which workers sleep, live, and work in isolation from the rest of the world to prevent virus transmission.
General Motors runs the facilities as a joint venture with Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC Motor Corp.
Reuters noted that the auto giant has resorted to such measures to keep its production uninterrupted as China has lockdown several of its cities and production hubs following a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Price Action: GM shares are trading higher by 0.72% at $44.54 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.
