MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - German automotive supplier Bosch on Monday said it has received government approval in Mexico to restart operations, which had been suspended since late March due to measures taken to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

"We have already received approval from the health authorities to reopen, which we will do gradually and with staggered shifts in all our locations," Bosch said in a statement. "In this first stage, we are starting with 25% on average of our installed capacity throughout the country."
