“They are fulfilling our request to temporarily shut down the entire factory, and we can send health authorities to help them quickly resume operations and at the same time curb the spread of the virus. I’ll help you reorganize like that, “he said on the phone. “We want to bring these plants back into operation within two weeks to limit disruption to our global supply chain.”
