CANONSBURG, Pa., March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CONSOL Energy,
Inc. (NYSE: CEIX) and CONSOL Coal
Resources LP (NYSE: CCR) provided the following update
regarding operations at the Bailey Mine and its response to
positive COVID-19 cases:
Late last week, we were made aware that two employees at the
Bailey Mine tested positive for COVID-19. Both employees are being
asked to self-isolate for 14 days. The Pennsylvania Department of
Health and the Mine Safety and Health Administration have been
notified of the situation, and we are communicating with these
agencies to ensure we take the requisite measures for the safety of
our employees. The health and safety of our employees is paramount,
and we have taken various precautions over the past few weeks to
minimize risks.
However, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to
temporarily curtail production at the Bailey Mine for a two-week
period. We will perform a precautionary deep cleaning of the
facilities while attempting to determine if any other employees
were at risk from exposure. We will continue to monitor the issue
closely in order to limit potential exposure to other employees,
contractors, family members, and the community. Our Enlow Fork
Mine, Harvey Mine and central Preparation Plant will continue
operations at this time, in order to ensure a stable energy and
electricity supply for all Americans.
