TWO TYSON EMPLOYEES IN COLUMBUS JUNCTION DIE FROM COVID-19

Two Tyson employees in Columbus Junction die from COVID-19

Two Tyson Foods employees have died following a coronavirus outbreak that has sickened scores of workers at a large pork plant in Columbus Junction. The deaths of the workers at the Tyson plant are the first known to be linked to an outbreak at a meatpacking plant in Iowa. The plant has been shut down since April 6, when Tyson announced that more than two dozen workers were infected. The company said Monday (4/13) that it would continue the plant’s suspension this week after more workers tested positive.
