Consol Energy Inc. issued the following announcement on April 14
On March 30th, we announced the temporary curtailment of production at the Bailey Mine due to two employees testing positive for COVID-19. As of April 13th, the workforce at the Bailey Mine has returned to a normal production schedule. Enhanced sanitization and social distancing measures, along with staggered shifts at the mine will continue to ensure the health and wellness of all personnel on site.
Over the past few weeks, we have taken several steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities, while working to minimize disruptions to operations.
Temporarily idling Enlow Fork Mine
Unfortunately, due to the weakness in coal demand and economic slowdown related to the pandemic, production at the Enlow Fork Mine will be temporarily idled at this time. We will assess and monitor the ever-changing situation in the global marketplace and will evaluate options continuously, as we navigate through the pandemic. As always, we intend to run our operations safely and compliantly, with our production based on market conditions and customer inventories.
