Several employees of Australian-owed mining company Troy Resources Guyana Inc (TRGI) have tested positive for COVID-19, the company disclosed yesterday, while announcing plans for mass testing at its Karouni work site.
The company did not say how many of its employees have tested positive but Stabroek News was told by sources that the figure is more than five. The positive results were discovered from tests done both on and offsite.
The company also announced that all employees who are to be deployed to the Region Seven mine site must be tested and show a negative result prior to being allowed to travel into the site.
