WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 03rd April, 2020) The Trump administration is considering a proposed shutdown of oil rigs in the US Gulf of Mexico to protect workers who have begun contracting the new coronavirus (COVID-19), the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Several workers on oil platforms have tested positive for the new virus. Shuttering Gulf rigs over health concerns until the pandemic eases would likely reduce US oil production during a world-wide glut that has driven prices down to historically low levels, the Journal said.
