Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

As I stated previously, an outbreak is managed, first and foremost, by public health officials.

They are directing not only the employer what to do but they are working with us to ensure the sites are compliant. They take the decision when to close the plant and when to reopen it. We then go there subsequently and unannounced to check if measures are in place.
