Johnsonville LLC has temporarily ceased operations at its Holton, Kan. sausage processing facility after five employees tested positive for COVID-19, reports Meat & Poultry. While the facility is closed, the company will be placing additional barriers between workstations when social distancing isn’t possible, conducting COVID-19 testing with all employees who haven’t been tested, conducting additional sanitation throughout the plant, and providing employees with masks to wear while in public.
“As the largest employer in Holton, we made the decision to close the facility after five members tested positive as an extra precaution to protect other members, their families, and the larger Jackson County community,” Johnsonville said. “These members will be paid during this time.” Full Story
