Renault to restart its Sandouville plant on Friday

French automaker Renault will resume its Normandy-based Sandouville plant located in northwestern France on Friday, a trade union source informed Reuters on Wednesday.

Renault had suspended production at Sandouville plant, after a court order criticizing the way the automaker told unions about its increased protective measures put in place to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

About 143,845 people in France have been confirmed as being infected with the coronavirus. The virus has killed 28,132 people in the country.
