Gütersloh / Euskirchen (dpa) - After a corona outbreak in the Euskirchen plant of the home appliance manufacturer Miele, 4000 employees across the company are currently affected by production losses.
A spokeswoman announced on Tuesday.
After positive tests in the engine plant in the Rhineland with a total of 500 employees, over 200 employees had to be quarantined at the end of February.
Production was shut down.
The newspaper “Die Glocke” had previously reported the number of 4,000 employees across the company.
As a result of the delivery failures in Euskirchen, production in the washing machine plants in Gütersloh and Ksawerów (Poland), in the dryer plant in Uničov (Czech Republic) and the dishwasher production in Bielefeld and Uničov have to be shut down.
Vacuum cleaner production in Bielefeld is also affected.
Production is scheduled to start again on March 10th.
