With a staff of almost 9,000, the plant is resuming operation with a skeleton staff of 2,000 and draconian disinfection measures.

Dunarit arms factory is also starting work with a reduced staff – from 1,000 down to only 200 for completing the contracts already started. Stomana Pernik is also cutting down on production.
