GREENSBURG, Ind. — Honda is extending its suspension of production at all facilities in the U.S. and Canada.

That would include the manufacturing plant in Greensburg.

The temporary shutdown due to the coronavirus will continue through April 6. Honda says it’s due to the “continued steep decline in market demand across the automotive industry…resulting in the inability of consumers in many markets to purchase new vehicles.” The company says it will continue to provide opportunities for employees to be paid.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive, in Lafayette, also announced it is extending its temporary shutdown until April 6.
