Boeing Halts Puget Sound Manufacturing Following Coronavirus Death
Boeing (NYSE: BA) on Monday said it was suspending all operations in the Puget Sound region for two weeks in response to the escalating COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the region.
The aerospace giant said that it was shutting down airplane manufacturing and maintenance of parked jets in the region beginning on Wednesday, March 25. The decision comes a day after a Boeing employee died from a COVID-19 infection, which has hit the greater Seattle region particularly hard.
