PARIS (AP) This should restore the Mona Lisas famous smile: Her Paris home, the Louvre Museum, is open again after management eased workers fears about catching the coronavirus.
Louvre Museum employees who had stayed off the job since Sunday for fear of infection voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to resume work, allowing the worlds most- visited museum open its doors again in the afternoon.
Management presented a raft of new anti-virus measures to try to coax employees back to work. Among them: wider distributions of disinfectant gels and more frequent staff rotations so employees can wash their hands.
