Airbus SE said Friday it would implement partial unemployment measures for 3,000 employees in France from April 20 to mid-May.

The plane maker said the measures would be implemented for employees at commercial aircraft sites in Toulouse, Nantes and Saint-Nazaire. They aren't able to work because their work stations cannot be secured with health and safety measures.

Airbus said the measures could be extended after mid-May to address the activity downturn and the adaptation of production rates due to coronavirus.

The company had already reduced its production rates by one-third.
