Coronavirus outbreak

Webasto owns 11 locations in China, including in Wuhan.^[4] In late January 2020, the company disclosed that five of its workers had tested positive to SARS-CoV-2.^[5]^[6]^[7] This was reportedly one of the first cases of person-to-person transmission of the virus outside China.^[7]

The outbreak was handled internally within the company.^[8] The story was initially reported in The Wall Street Journal as a case of successful containment of the outbreak.^[3] By March 2020, genome studies tracking mutations of the virus suggested that the Webasto outbreak had not been successfully contained, and was linked to a 'decent part' of the overall coronavirus outbreak in Europe.^[9] Genetic sequencing also linked the cluster of cases at Webasto's headquarters to the virus outbreak in northern Italy.^[10] In May 2020 some medical disprove this assumptions and confirm that the Webasto case remained isolated,^[11] while in July other studies identified the most common Italian strain as coming from Germany.^[12]

Autonomous driving
