Closed two U.S. assembly plants amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The plant in Michigan was closed because a worker tested positive for COVID-19.
The other plant in Chicago was closed because of a parts shortage.
The Michigan plant builds the F-150 pickup truck and the Chicago plant the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs.
According to Reuters, Ford and other automakers have imposed new safety measures, including screening employees.
