Workers at the plant in the central state of Guanajuato that has been idled for weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak, had previously been told to plan to return to work on May 18.The message to the plant’s workers came after the Mexican government on Friday clarified when the industry could begin easing restrictions imposed because of the health emergency.
On Wednesday, the government said automakers could start going back into production from May 18. It then withdrew that advice and suggested the new start date would be June 1. Finally it indicated the sector, which forms the backbone of Mexican manufacturing, could begin operating as soon as next week if companies had the required safety measures in place.

Mexico is already climbing in infection s and deaths because they do not socially distance or wear hardly any PPE. To open plants there is to pass the risk on to less fortunate people, something the US has been doing for a couple centuries.
