Spain chemicals plants to operate on special status amid generalised industrial shutdowns

摘要

LONDON (ICIS)-Spain's chemicals plants will continue working due to their status as critical infrastructure after the cabinet extended on Sunday industrial shutdowns for two weeks to contain the coronavirus pandemic. The Spanish cabinet is hopeful the contagion curve could start flat-lining the week starting Monday 30 March, but argued it was putting the industrial sectors in "hibernation" to fully get a grip on the pandemic. While workers in the services sectors are mostly working from home, most industrial employees continued to attend their workplaces in the past two weeks as the country started on 16 March a state of emergency aimed at curbing the pandemic.
