Cargill has temporarily closed a beef processing plant in Guelph Ontario due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Out of 950 workers, 82 have tested positive and 128 others are currently quarantining. The plant, which processes 1,500 head of cattle per day, has not set a reopening date after voluntarily shutting down. Ontario beef producers have asked the Canadian government to help cover feeding costs while slaughter capacity is unavailable.
