US coal mining company Contura Energy said on Monday that all its sites were back to “nearly normal” staffing levels and operating capacity, with additional precautions to help reduce the risk of exposure to Covid-19.
Early last month, the coal-mining company idled the majority of its operations for about four weeks, although some were suspended for a shorter period of time. This was to allow Contura to manage the challenges of a distressed coal market and growing coal stockpiles, alongside varied customer responses to the coronavirus.
