The world’s largest rubber glove maker said it expects distribution delays of up to four weeks after more than 2,000 workers at its factories contracted coronavirus.

Top Glove, a Malaysian manufacturer, temporarily stopped production at 16 factories in Klang, a town outside Kuala Lumpur, from November 17 to screen workers.
