According to the email, it has disinfected all of its factories, and has provided regular medical checkups for its workers. Its precautions meant that no one in its Chinese operations has contracted the COVID-19 virus, it added. The Polestar 2 starts from around $60,000, with first deliveries expected to start later this year.
