COVID-19 outbreak at Manitoba turkey plant

COVID-19 has stricken 25 workers at the Exceldor (formerly Granny’s) turkey processing plant in Manitoba.

The company said measures to prevent transmission of coronavirus are in place and are “definitely effective in avoiding contamination among employees in the workplace.”


The company met with public health officials and found “no evidence of workplace transmission,” the statement said. 


The company said several workers live together or commute to work together, which could have resulted in the virus spreading.


 It has spread so fast that the company said it’s challenging to keep up.
