Fremont Police Chief Kimberly Petersen will met with Tesla Inc.
officials today to discuss with the auto maker its cooperation for
compliance with a local government order directing nonessential
businesses to shut down to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
The police announced the meeting through a message on Twitter.
It follows days of confusion over whether Tesla's U.S. car factory
should continue to operate after local authorities' order on Monday
to limit activity in the region and have people stay home to slow
the spread of Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel
coronavirus.
Tesla has continued to operate even after the local sheriff's
office said the factory wasn't essential, production should be
halted and operations limited to a minimum. The county sheriff's
spokesman has said the city of Fremont, where the factory is
located, is responsible for enforcing the order.
