NEW DELHI: Factories in Noida and Greater Noida are operating without any hitches despite workers testing positive for covid-19 in some sites.
Nine workers in smartphone maker Oppo’s factory and two from a construction site for a new Vivo factory had tested positive for covid-19 over the past few days, according to the health bulletin from the Uttar Pradesh government.
In a statement, Oppo said it has suspended operations in the factory and was awaiting test results for 3,000 employees. According to industry executives, current government regulations require companies to shut down any facility and the area within 250 metres of facilities where infected patients are found for 48 hours.
