All FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co. production sites have recommenced operations following closure due to the coronavirus epidemic, the company said.

Production for most of the SAIC joint venture has restarted with two sites still preparing to come back online. All Volkswagen Group China and partner component production sites have also recommenced operations.

"We are working hard to resume our business as usual, while facing challenges such as a slow national supply chain and logistics ramp-up, as well as limited travel options for production employees," said the company in a statement.

Volkswagen also has health and safety measures in place, such as temperature screening at the entrance of facilities, regular disinfection of working areas and the distribution of masks.
