Containing coronavirus

摘要

As governments worldwide loosen lockdowns imposed to impede the spread of COVID-19, energy companies are assessing their health and safety (H&S) policies to ensure workplaces are not new infection hotspots, protecting workers and hence production. These changes come as energy industries have downscaled workloads to reflect a collapse in demand for their output. International Energy Agency (IEA) data (up to mid-April) showed that countries in full lockdown were experiencing an average 25% fall in energy demand and countries in partial lockdown an average 18% decline.
