The shutdown followed a government decision Saturday to ban indoor public gatherings of more than 5,000 people
Sacristin said that new measure exacerbated the fears of Louvre workers that they might be in danger of contamination, because the museum welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each day. Also worrying staffers is that museum workers from northern Italy are now visiting the Louvre. They have come to collect works by Leonardo da Vinci that were loaned for a major exhibition, he said.
A meeting about virus prevention is scheduled for Monday between union representatives and the museum management, said Sacristin, who will be taking part. He said museum visitors should be subjected to health checks to protect staffers and that if cases of coronavirus contamination are confirmed “then the museum should be closed.”
Workers have asked for masks to be distributed but so far have been given only an alcohol-based solution to disinfect their hands, he said.
