Around 890 employees at a Tyson Foods pork-processing plant in Logansport, Indiana, tested positive for COVID-19, according to one report.
But after reopening, it quickly closed again, with officials saying it would stay shuttered until all 2,200 workers were tested for the coronavirus and the company deemed the facility safe for workers.
President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday compelling companies like Tysons to reopen the shuttered plants amid growing fears of breaks in the food supply chain and shortages of household staples chicken, pork and beef.Along with this, Tyson Foods announced it is increasing bonuses and short-term disability coverage due to coronavirus. While other companies are increasing hourly rates, Tyson is using a bonus method to increase frontline employee salaries.
