Maple Leaf Foods has suspended operations at its poultry processing plant in Brampton because three workers have COVID-19.
President Michael McCain said it will remain closed “while we complete an investigation . . . (and) a full risk assessment.
“While we complete the investigation, we are deep cleaning the plant including common areas and offices. Our goal is to complete the investigation and the deep cleaning as quickly as reasonably possible.
“We will not begin operating again until we are confident that it is safe to return to work.”
One worker at the huge new plant Maple Leaf built in Hamilton has COVID-19, but had not been at work for two weeks before symptoms showed up.
