Iron-ore major Fortescue Metals on Monday said that it would continue to operate its mine sites in the Pilbara, despite the Western Australian government implementing strict border controls that would require all new inter-state arrivals to self-isolate for a period of 14 days. “Fortescue has been working closely with industry and government on the impact of travel restrictions on the resources sector. We commend the Western Australian state government on their decisive action to contain the spread of Covid-19 in our community,” said Fortescue CEO Elizabeth Gaines.
