Intel and Samsung eye fully running Ho Chi Minh plants in weeks as Covid-19 cases are going lower in Vietnam


HANOI, Oct 12 (Bloomberg): Units of Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co are targeting to resume full operations of their Ho Chi Minh City plants by the end of November, a move that could provide relief to global supply chains.

Saigon Hi-Tech Park is helping its tenants, many of which are currently running at about 70% capacity, to operate fully next month, the park’s deputy manager Le Bich Loan said in a phone interview. She didn’t elaborate on the steps the park is taking, particularly efforts at bringing back workers who fled to home provinces.
