TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Responding to a recent rise in case numbers, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is increasing COVID-19 prevention efforts at worksites across the country.
From Saturday (April 2) TSMC will reintroduce remote work measures and keep on-site work teams physically separate from one another, per a CNA report. The announcement came after Taiwan had 104 local cases on Friday (April 1).
The company will also suspend all in-person meetings for the time being. Planned charity events, as well as cultural and educational activities, will be put on hold.
TSMC adopted a split teams approach in January, implementing staggered work hours to limit contact between these groups. Since then, the company’s production sites have been mostly closed off to visitors too.
