Nearly 250 thousand cars were not manufactured in Central and Eastern Europe due to the downtime caused by the coronavirus outbreak. As of 30th March 2020, nearly 136 thousand people working in the automotive factories in the CEE region were affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The source also states that the actual number of affected employees was much higher. This is due to delays in data transfer and the unavailability of full reports from production plants.
