IAMGOLD Sees Work Stoppage At Rosebel Gold Mine Due To COVID-19 Infections

IAMGOLD (TSX: IMG) announced this morning that work has stopped at its Rosebel Gold Mine operation in Suriname, South America after seven personnel were found to be infected with COVID-19. Work stopped was a result of union resistance to certain measures required.
