(Reuters) – General Motors Co will furlough all its employees in Brazil starting on March 30, the company said in a statement to Reuters on Wednesday, suggesting that GM’s production in South America’s main car market would stop due to the coronavirus outbreak.
A union source told Reuters on Wednesday that the furlough will last from March 30 through April 12 and has yet to be formalized, but is expected to be signed later in the day.
