Cargill, Inc. has resumed operations at is beef processing facility in Guelph, Ontario after it halted production on December 17 due to 82 employees testing positive for COVID-19, reports Food Business News. The facility has resumed shifts incrementally and is working towards full capacity.
“In addition to safety measures, we implemented at our facilities months ago, we have taken time during the idle [period] to conduct a full, deep-clean of the facility as an additional step to respond to the community-wide impacts of the virus,” said Daniel Sullivan, director of corporate communications for Cargill. “We want to emphasize that employees should be healthy and not have had contact with anyone with the COVID-19 virus for 14 days before returning to work.”
Cargill has worked with the local health officials on mitigation measures over the last few months and plans to keep these protocols in place when fully operational. Full Story
