Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Meat Plants (Resumed)
Mr. Cormac Healy:
To be precise, there were even fewer plants with significant numbers of infections. All our plants had measures in place from early to mid-March, and as Mr. Carroll mentioned, there was a ramping up and development of the protocol. Those measures were being put in place across sites and it is not clear exactly why there were infections in certain plants. The reality, which is being experienced internationally, is that in some sites or facilities there have been high numbers and low or no numbers in others. The reason for that is not fully clear.
