meat processing plants

As hundreds of workers tested positive for COVID-19 at the Tyson plant in Wilkes County, the company says it plans to ramp up operations again this week. 

There are more than two-dozen COVID-19 outbreaks at North Carolina meat processing plants. That includes confirmed cases at the Tyson Foods plant in Wilkes County.

The Tyson Foods Plant in Wilkes County is closing temporarily. This is the second time in a week the facility has shut its doors after an outbreak of COVID-19 cases.
