The delta variant of the coronavirus is wreaking havoc on the automotive world, closing down the New York International Auto Show just days before it was scheduled to open, forcing auto workers to return to mask wearing on assembly lines and threatening to impact vehicle production.
Automakers are hoping to prevent the sort of disruptions the industry faced last year, which resulted in a big slump in demand, production and earnings. In a statement released on Monday, the United Auto Workers Union said: “While we know that masks can be uncomfortable, the spread of the Delta variant and recent data outlining the alarmingly high rate of transmission among those unvaccinated is a serious health threat." The union is part of the Covid task force, and agreed with its mask recommendations.
The auto industry has been hammered by the coronavirus pandemic since its earliest days. Chinese factories began temporary closures by early 2020, with factories in Europe following soon afterwards. The entire North American automotive manufacturing network shut down by mid-March and only began a phased reopening two months later.
