Kinross has asked its employees to work from home. Toronto Public Health (TPH) has also asked the company’s Toronto employees to self-monitor for any symptoms.
The employee who tested positive was last in the Toronto office for 1.5 days ending March 3, 2020, is currently at home in self-quarantine, and is in good condition.
The employee did not attend the PDAC conference or other external events and has not recently travelled to Kinross sites.
Kinross said that, to date, COVID-19 has not impacted production or product shipments at any of the Company’s sites.
