The coronavirus infected workers at a slaughterhouse in Germany. Germany is attempting to stop the virus after 650 workers in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia tested positive for Covid-19.
Toennies, the company that owns the meat processing facility, temporarily shut the plant. The plant had several foreign workers who have traveled in recent weeks and might have been carrying the virus with them. As in the US, Germany also has seen outbreaks in meat facilities. In reaction to the outbreaks, the German government announced it would bring in new laws to protect the workers. Outbreaks of coronavirus among workers in the food industry in the United Kingdom and Canada have also been reported. @ https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/18/europe/germany-meat-processing-plant-coronavirus-cases-intl/index.html
