London-listed Antofagasta on Thursday reported that its production had not been significantly impacted by measures to curb the spread of coronavirus, despite the company operating with only about 50% of its workforce.
Antofagasta, which owns mines in Chile where coronavirus cases have risen to more than 3 000, has not detected any cases of Covid-19 directly within its operations. However, four employees and contractors have been diagnosed with the virus, while they were away from work.
