Twenty-one workers at a steel plant owned by ArcelorMittal in the Mexican port city of Cardenas have died from Covid-19, the steelworkers' trade union said Saturday.
The dead include employees, contractors and suppliers to the plant, said Carlos Solorio, secretary general of the local branch of the national mining and metallurgical workers' union.
"Everyone was working for the company," Solorio told Reuters. Nine of the deceased were union members, he added.
ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel producer, was not immediately available for comment on the report of the deaths, which were initially made public in a video posted on social media by the union's president, Senator Napoleon Gomez.
