Indonesian thermal coal miners getting ready for COVID-19

摘要

Singapore—Indonesian thermal coal miners were bracing themselves for an escalating impact from coronavirus in Kalimantan, meaning the near-term effect on supply was far from clear, sources said Monday. The coronavirus pandemic has spread to the mining regions in Kalimantan, sources said, adding that could lead to potential disruptions in supply of labor and constrain coal supply from the country. That followed the Indonesian government’s decision to expand the geographical scope of large-scale social restrictions (PSSB) in Kalimantan to combat the disease, sources said.
