A new report is spelling out the toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on the mining industry, finding that thousands of workers have been infected.

However, out of all the outbreaks the report looked at, the largest single outbreak is a coal mining operation in southern Poland, the Pniowek Coal Mine. It is operated by a Polish company, and more than 1,400 workers have tested positive, the report said. The next-largest outbreak is at the Olimpiada gold mine in Russia, where more than 800 people have been infected, according to the report.

“Based on contact tracing, we believe the spread likely occurred through immediate work crews and through interactions at camp,”As a result of the mine’s outbreak, the nearby Gull Bay First Nation reported that at least eight people in the community became infected. As the pandemic forced people inside their homes and away from large gatherings, some mining companies saw an opportunity, according to the report.

After the decision, Allan Adam, chief of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation who live in that region, said they hadn’t been consulted. that it was “dangerously compromising the efforts made by our communities to slow the spread of the disease.”

Wow.... so you that have commented , think that mining & mining exploration IS an essential service then? Or are you disputing the outbreaks or ? Explain please, I’m missing something.

Stop with your garbage spreading.

Hmmm, I wonder if all these “peaceful” protests will produce “literally hundreds of thousands” Covid-19 positive patients in the next two weeks, I hope not, otherwise..we’re fucked!
