Coronavirus hot spot in Minnesota connected to surge of cases at meatpacking plant
"We are very worried about the pandemic. We want to work, but we have families. We are just human beings who want a better life," one employee said.
A meatpacking plant has a surge of coronavirus cases. And it's spreading to surrounding towns.
Workers and residents in a small Minnesota town are demanding that a meatpacking plant be temporarily closed for cleaning and sanitizing to protect the 1,100 people who work there. They also want coronavirus testing for workers — a request that came after the plant reported that cases more than doubled from May 8 to May 11.
But now, St. Cloud, a neighboring small town northwest of Minneapolis, is experiencing a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases, according to documents obtained by NBC News, probably because of the meatpacking plant itself.
