MELBOURNE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Papua New Guinea's Ok Tedi copper and gold mine suspended output on Wednesday for at least 14 days, after seven workers tested positive for the coronavirus, the mine operator said.

The company said it was immediately suspending operation for at least two weeks "to limit further transmission and allow contact tracing, isolation and testing procedures to be implemented," Chief Executive Musje Werror said.
