It’s a big move – Ferrari is the first European manufacturer to announce a production restart – but one Ferrari is confident can be done safely, having shut its factories down on March 15th. A statement from Ferrari reads: “Given the huge uncertainty and lack of predictability that the Covid-19 has created, the Company is taking all appropriate actions to assure the wellbeing and welfare of its employees and that are deemed to be in the best interest of all stakeholders.
“All activities that can be conducted in smart working will continue to be performed as has been the case in recent weeks. The Company will continue to cover all days of absence to those unable to take advantage of this solution.”
