Tesla and Apple, two Bay Area tech giants with large and important manufacturing operations in China, are taking some tentative steps to get their factories in the country back on line as the coronavirus outbreak continues to impact many production efforts.

After closing its Shanghai Gigafactory for a week-and-a-half to help contain the spread of coronavirus, Tesla is set to re-open the plant on Tuesday. Tesla had just begun delivering Model 3 cars built in Shanghai in January when the coronavirus epidemic broke out and Chinese government officials ordered the company to temporarily suspend its production lines. Tesla officials in China said last week that closing the Shanghai plant would cause it to delay deliveries of cars originally scheduled to go to customers in early February.
