TSX-listed Trevali Mining now has more than 80 confirmed cases of Covid-19 at its Santander operation, which is nearly 30% of the total workforce of the mine in Peru.
The company suspended operations at Santander in late June, after 19 workers tested positive for the virus during routine serological testing. In response, all 298 workers on site were quarantined and underwent further testing.
A total of 82 workers have tested positive for Covid-19 using polymerase chain reaction tests.
