German carmaker Volkswagen has said that its plant in China's Changchun would remain closed until Friday amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in the city.
"Production in Changchun remains to be suspended tomorrow. In Shanghai, after resumption of production today, we will continue to produce tomorrow." a company spokesperson said on Thursday.
On Monday, the company said that it suspended production at its facilities in China amid a lockdown in the country.
As China's daily virus figures have surged to a two-year high, the country implemented lockdown measures on Sunday under its policy of "zero-COVID."
The Chinese National Health Commission said 3,507 new locally spread cases had been identified in the last 24 hours, up from 1,337 a day earlier.
