“We are monitoring the situation closely and will advise our production employees once the parts supply delay is resolved.”

This is the second time this year production has halted at the two Canadian Toyota plants.
Back in March, production was halted after employees at the Cambridge plant tested positive for the coronavirus.

Production resumed in May after Toyota said it implemented new measures which include facility access screening procedures, additional physical distancing and physical barriers, and enhanced sanitization procedures.
