Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Ms Patricia King:

No, we are having a variety of approaches. For instance, some employers say that they are having a deep clean. What does that mean? How valuable is that? It is a bit like temperature testing. We are now told that temperature testing is not that valuable. We must have a tried and trusted arrangement, agreed with and led by the HSA and in concert with the HSE public health officials. We need to have that so that every employer and every worker knows exactly what the process is when a case is identified.
