The novel coronavirus outbreak is starting to take a heavy toll on the U.S. car industry as the first auto plant workers have lost the battle with the COVID-19 disease.

Both assembly plant workers were employed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which has already lost another employee at its Auburn Hills headquarters in Michigan earlier this week. The two new COVID-19 fatalities were confirmed on Tuesday by a UAW spokesperson.

The representative said one of them worked at FCA’s Ram pickup plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, while the other was employed at a plant in Kokomo, Indiana. It is unclear when the workers died and whether they are the same employees that tested positive earlier this month at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant and the Kokomo Transmission plant.

As for FCA, a company spokeswoman told Autonews the company couldn’t share information for privacy reasons.
