An employee at Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a company spokesperson.
The company is also looking at "a possibility of a second case" of infection at the facility but has ruled out any impact on the business part due to the situation.
The country's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) had re-opened the Manesar facility earlier this month after around 50 days of closure due to coronavirus-led lockdown.
"One employee of the company's Manesar plant tested positive on May 22, 2020 for COVID-19," the spokesperson told PTI when contacted over the matter.
The said employee had last attended the plant on May 15 with normal health after which his residence area came into a containment zone and he did not join work thereafter, he said.
The district administration was informed about the employee who has since been admitted in the hospital and his condition is stable, he added.
MSI is providing all medical help and assistance to the infected employee as per government guidelines, the spokesperson said.
On the status of another employee possibly infected with the virus, the spokesperson said: "There may be a possibility of a second case of infection that has just been reported. More information is being sought."
