Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

The challenge here is that Covid is a public health matter. The issue in meat plants has been very much directed by the public health element to get that under control and a range of guidance and advice has been involved there. We are being included in those discussions and arrangements are being made for inspections, as we speak. However, the primary responsibility was first and foremost to get those outbreaks under control in those workplaces so that it did not spread into the community and that is where we come in. We are now moving forward with those inspections.
