Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Meat Plants

Ms Bríd McKeown:

No. We have anecdotal evidence from workers that they had been tested, that their employer had been told the results and that only when they went to ask their employer a few days later were they told the results. We do not have a huge amount of data on this but we have some anecdotal evidence that the feeling was that some employers were withholding positive results from workers who were not displaying symptoms in order to keep up production efforts. As I said, though, we do not have firm evidence of that.
