Revealed: Covid-19 outbreaks at meat-processing plants in US being kept quiet

Testing has found positive cases at North Carolina facilities, but officials refuse to release the information

A chicken processing facility in western North Carolina reportedly underwent widespread testing for Covid-19 in early June.

Workers at the plant were scared. Several employees had already tested positive and the company, Case Farms - which has been repeatedly condemned for animal treatment and workers' rights violations - was not providing proper protective equipment.
