WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Cargill Inc will
begin to temporarily close its Guelph, Ontario beef processing
plant on Thursday because of an outbreak of COVID-19 infections
among workers, the company and a public health organization
said.
Cargill voluntarily agreed to the closure as 82 workers
tested positive for the virus, the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph
Public Health agency said. As a precaution, 129 other people
were self-isolating. When we see an outbreak of this size, we must use all of
the tools available to us to contain the outbreak and ensure the
community at large is protected, said Dr. Matthew Tenenbaum,
