More than 100 people tested positive for Covid-19 in a Côtes-d'Armor slaughterhouse after a second screening campaign, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) announced on Wednesday evening.
"The screening campaign carried out on 818 staff on Tuesday revealed 44 additional positive cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases within the company to 109," the ARS said in a press release. A first screening operation was carried out on Friday with 209 employees of this Kermené company.
5% of positive cases on staff tested on May 19
“As expected, the incidence rate [of this second campaign] is lower than that observed during the first operation which concerned the more immediate working environment of the first contact cases identified in the company (5% of positive cases on the staff tested on May 19 against 30% of positive cases on the people tested on May 15) ", continues the press release.
People diagnosed with Covid-19 are contacted by health insurance, which identifies all of their at-risk contacts "in order to apply the fortnight device for these people, as well as the prescription of a virological test and health masks" , says the press release.
According to the company's website, "Kermené supplies all E.Leclerc stores with butchery, delicatessen and caterer products, intended for both traditional departments, fresh packaged and self-service".
