Minera Panama filed a protection action, because since April 6 the Ministry of Health ordered the closure of the Donoso mining project, for reporting an outbreak of covid-19 among the company’s staff.

The Ministry of Health (Minsal) suspended the activities of the mining project located in the province of Colon, after several workers became infected with covid-19 and two of them died from the virus.

Prensa.com reviews that “… The injunction, which was handed out this Monday June 8, was filed at the office of Judge María Eugenia Lopez, who will have to analyze whether or not to admit the injunction filed by the firm Morgan & Morgan on behalf of Minera Panamá.”

The article adds that “… The company assures that the outbreak has been overcome and that the sanitary measures are in place to resume operations.”

Because of the suspension of the mine’s activity, the company was forced to release 650 workers and also paralyzed other work related to the operation of the company.
