Nissan to implement a temporary shutdown in Japan help prevent the spread of COVID-19

Nissan will implement a temporary shutdown at some of its facilities in Japan from April 27 through May 1 to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The measure will affect about 15,000 employees in total, at Nissan’s Global Headquarters in Yokohama and at certain non-production facilities in the Atsugi, Oppama and Tochigi areas.

Nissan is prioritizing the safety and health of all its stakeholders, including employees, during the coronavirus pandemic. The company has already implemented work-from-home policies and reinforced safety and health measures at facilities still in operation.

The facilities affected by this measure will remain closed through the Japanese Golden Week holidays, for a total of 16 days, from April 25 through May 10. Nissan will maintain a minimum level of business-essential operations at the affected facilities, with a minimum number of employees, while closely managing their safety and health. The company hopes these measures will help prevent the spread of the coronavirus among employees at Nissan, the company’s affiliates, and the wider community.

Production sites will continue to operate to meet market demand, with close management of employee health and safety, although some plants have already been affected by temporary suspensions.

Nissan will provide regular updates to employees and other stakeholders on developments and future actions.
