August 14, 2020 - Five cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed among staff at a Cargill case-ready meat plant in Calgary. The company said the employees at the facility are in isolation and there’s no known link between the cases.
“These individuals were not in regular contact with one another or working in the same areas,” company spokesperson Dan Sullivan said in an emailed statement to Global News on Friday.
According to Alberta Health Services, there is no known link between these cases and the outbreak at Cargill’s High River facility that accounted for hundreds of cases this spring.
Sullivan said the company is working with health officials to make sure quarantine, cleaning and virus prevention protocols are being followed in all its facilities.
