They shut production down in Europe for four days but it restarted today. Shouldn't make much difference overall as they always have dozens of aircraft post-production lying around getting finished, test flying etc. NEOY was flying around on test flights in February so won't be impacted at all by the shut down.
The problem Airbus face is that very few customers worldwide want to receive their aircraft at the moment, although today they've said that China is beginning to show "some first signs of slow recovery" and deliveries could resume there in the next month or so.
