Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

We were invited to participate in May, meaning we have been part of the national outbreak control team, which has looked specifically at the meat sector. On an ongoing basis, we have become involved with the local outbreak control teams, as that is the hierarchy. Now there is a new national committee looking at high-risk sectors which includes not just meat and food processing but also the construction sector.
