How the Doe Run Company is Dealing with the Coronavirus

(Viburnum) How is the Doe Run Company dealing with the coronavirus pandemic?

The lead mining company is one of the largest employers in southeast Missouri, employing around a thousand individuals from the listening area.

That’s according to the company’s website. Tammy Stankey is the mining company’s director of communications.

Stankey says some of their employees were wearing masks long before the pandemic began in March.
