Italian steel mills to close in CoVID-19 plan: aM taranto, arvedi exempt

摘要

Certain Italian steel mills will have to shut down most operations under a government decree issued sunday, tightening restrictions to fight the spread coronavirus.The government has ordered the suspension of industrial and commercial activities that are not essential by March 25. Market sources said that although most mills would not be allowed to continue production, some are trying to secure the requisite permission from local prefects to carry on. Unions have promised to fight such moves and say they are ready to call a huge strike to prevent plants staying open. Under the government decree, continuous production cycle plants activities are permitted “from which interruption results in serious damage to the plant itself,” but again this is subject to a greenlight from the local prefect.
