BY: Loop Author 10:12, April 11, 2021 135 reads The Ok Tedi operations resumed safely on the 1st of April after a two-week suspension following a surge in COVID-19 cases at the company’s sites. The suspension was necessary to minimise the spread of the virus and to conduct mass testing of the workforce in order to allow the negative cases to return to work and to manage the positive cases. A total of 10,000 COVID-19 PCR swab samples were collected during the suspension period. This is in addition to more than 21,000 samples collected since the beginning of the year. OTML provides regular updates of its testing results to the National Control Centre.
