9%的肉类包装厂工人被确诊新冠

4月和5月，美国最大的肉类生产商们，如：泰森食品公司（Tyson Foods）和嘉吉公司（Cargill），因受疫情影响被迫关闭了一些加工厂。这也使四月的红肉及加工厂的总产量下降8%，5月下降了13%。美国肉类包装厂需要为美国人民生产足够的肉类食物，疫情间工作也面临着巨大的压力，这也是新冠爆发早期的一大热点话题。

肉类生产、肉类包装行业的工作需要许多工人长时间轮班，彼此也会近距离接触，真的很难达到社会疏远距离。根据美国疾病控制和预防中心的数据，14个州的肉类和家禽加工厂约有9%的工人被确诊患有新冠。截至5月31日，23个州有86名工人死亡，可能与疫情有关。近240家肉类加工厂都至少有一个工人确诊病例，23个州共计16200多名工人的新冠检测呈阳性。在疾控中心的调查中，111家工厂中只有86家工厂有预防工作的信息，要求所有工人戴上遮面物。111家工厂中有69家工厂在工人之间安装了物理屏障，41家工厂为工人提供了新冠测试。不难看出，一些肉类生产企业试图加强对工人的保护，但部分工厂并未做好相应的防御措施。

In April and May, the largest meat producers in the United States, such as Tyson Foods and Cargill, were forced to close some processing plants due to the outbreak. This also reduced the total output of red meat and poultry by 8% in April and 13% in May. American meat packing plants need to produce enough meat food for the American people, and the work during the epidemic is also under tremendous pressure. This is also a hot topic of the early rise of the coronavirus.

Working in the meat production and meat packaging industries requires many workers to work in shifts for a long time, and they will also be in close contact with each other. It is really difficult to reach social alienation. According to the CDC, about 9% of workers in meat and poultry processing plants in 14 states have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. As of May 31, 86 workers died in 23 states, which may be related to the epidemic. Nearly 240 meat processing plants have at least one worker diagnosed, and a total of more than 16,200 workers in 23 states tested positive for the coronavirus. In the CDC investigation, only 86 of the 111 factories had information on preventive work, requiring all workers to wear masks. Among the 111 factories, 69 factories installed physical barriers between workers, and 41 factories provided new crown tests for workers. It is not difficult to see that some meat production companies have tried to strengthen the protection of workers, but some factories have not taken appropriate defense measures.  source
