HIGH RIVER, AB. — The Cargill meat-packing plant at High River is temporarily shutting down as the result of COVID-19.
The plant, which employs more than 2,000 workers, has been linked to 358 cases of the novel coronavirus both at the plant and in the community.
A company spokesman says it was a difficult decision to make as the plant is considered an essential service.
He is encouraging all employees to get tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible.
