Local officials say the coronavirus outbreak at a Tyson Foods pork-processing plant in Iowa infected more than a third of the workforce.
Restaurant closures due to the coronavirus have contributed to an estimated $5 billion in losses this year for the U.S. pork industry, and almost overnight millions of hogs stacking up on farms now have little value.
The Iowa Department of Public Health had announced Tuesday that 444 workers at the plant had tested positive.The county health department said Thursday that the state’s figures include only workers who tested positive during mass testing at the plant. County officials say they have identified hundreds of additional employees who tested positive at clinics in the county or through serological testing.
