Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Meat Plants (Resumed)

Mr. Cormac Healy:

It depends on the PPE. In a case of visors versus masks, the latter must be replaced daily or on a shift basis. Visors, which are a different type of PPE, are not replaced as frequently. The industry has provided staff with the necessary protective equipment. It has done this for some time and will continue to do it. The overall suite of measures that are in place in the industry now must be maintained. There cannot be any room for any stepping back from that. I have no fear that there will be any stepping back from it.
