An employee leaves the Volkswagen (VW) plant as the company will temporarily close its factories in Mexico amid growing worries over the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in Puebla<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – German automaker Volkswagen said on Wednesday it would extend until April 30 a suspension of activities at two production plants in central Mexico after the government declared a health emergency because of coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volkswagen <VOW.DE<\/a>> is among manufacturers worldwide who are responding to a fall in demand, as well as supply chain challenges following measures taken to rein in the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement the company said the halt was extended from April 12 to comply with government orders for a suspension of all non-essential activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volkswagen said it would continue to pay employees during the suspension. Mexico reported 37 deaths, up from 29 a day earlier, and 1,378 infections, up from 1,215, because of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
