HERE IN NEW BRUNSWICK, ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK WITH NO NEW COVID 19 INFECTIONS AND NO DEATHS......DIFFERENT STORY WITH OUR NEIGHBOURS ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE BORDER!......Nearly 900 employees, 40 percent of the workforce, at a Tyson Foods pork-processing plant in Indiana have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The plant in Logansport halted operations April 25, one of several Tyson plants across the country that have voluntarily closed in an effort to help contain the spread of the virus.

The Cass County Health Department's administrator, Serenity Alter, said 890 employees at the plant have tested positive so far, and that a couple of hundred of others still need to be screened.

Hli Yang, a spokeswoman for the company, said the Logansport plant employs 2,200 people. She declined to confirm the number who have tested positive for the virus.

"Since this is an ever-changing situation, we are not disclosing the number of confirmed cases associated with a plant," she told NBC News.
