Consol reopens one Pennsylvania mine as it shuts another

US coal miner Consol Energy has resumed normal operations at its Bailey mine, where production was curtailed on March 30, after two employees tested positive for Covid-19.

The miner confirmed on Tuesday that the workforce at the Bailey mine, part of the Pennsylvania Complex, returned to a normal production schedule on Monday. However, production at the Enlow Fork mine will be idled, owing to the weakness in coal demand and economic slowdown related to the pandemic.
