After being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Gucci has announced plans to reopen its Italian facility to start working on prototyping of new merchandise. They have established a deal with Italian health officials to constantly monitor safety measures for all workers that will be working at the facility.
Italian government is yet to announce plans to end the lockdown; however many suspect that the peak period of the pandemic has passed and the spread of the virus will come to a decline in the coming months.
Gucci was one of the first companies to start manufacturing protective equipment for Italian health authorities and continues to manufacture them while working on employing only 10 per cent of workers at the manufacturing units.
Some of the safety measures that Gucci has agreed to abide by are shorter shifts, constant checking of employee temperatures and allotment of a company car to every employee if they don’t have one.
