A worker at AngloGold Ashanti’s Obuasi gold mine in Ghana tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday, the company said, the second known case of the virus at a mine site in Africa.
AngloGold Ashanti said operations at the Obuasi mine, where gold production is ramping up, would continue.
The infected employee – a Ghanaian who lives in mine accommodation and had recently returned from Britain – is in self-isolation.
