How to carry out maintenance operations on power plants with coronavirus?

How will plant maintenance operations be carried out with coronavirus containment? This article discusses wind power, but solar power should also be affected, perhaps to a lesser extent.

The travel ban and difficulties in obtaining spare parts are expected to delay the maintenance and operation of wind power plants (is this also the case for PV?). Indeed, Europe has 189 GW of wind power. Specialists for major problems are usually located in certain countries.The trade association WindEurope is putting pressure on the authorities to lift the travel ban, and advocating the completion of ongoing construction rather than seeking to repair old plants at any cost.
