Tennis Foods is a large meat company in Germany. As of 2018, it has a total of 16,500 employees and annual revenue of 6.65 billion euros.
A German TV station quoted an official spokesman from Gütersloh County that evening and announced that the test results of the new crown of 1,050 employees of Tennis Foods Co., Ltd. have now been announced, and a total of 657 people were tested positive. The county has ordered Tennis Foods to close its plant. About 1,300 workers and their families in the outbreak have been quarantined.
It is reported that the above testing was completed on the 16th of this month, and the remaining thousands of employees of the company will be tested next. The Teslo County Government expects that with the release of the test results, more confirmed cases will be found.
Tennis Foods said that the outbreak of aggregate infection may be related to Germany's recent contact with border control and re-permitting nationals to travel abroad. In addition, the environmental temperature in its workshop is also conducive to the spread of the virus. But the company emphasized that it has done everything it can to prevent the virus from spreading from the company to the outside world. Tennis Foods spokesperson Philstadt said on the day: "We can only express our apologies."
Teslo County has required all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the county to suspend classes from the 18th. County governor Ardener said that he can understand the parents' dissatisfaction, but "this is better than the county closure."
In the past month, there have been outbreaks of aggregate infections in several meat factories in North Weizhou and other places. In early May, more than 200 people were diagnosed with an outbreak of a cluster infection in the Meat Joint Factory in Cosfield County, North Rhine-Westphalia. Aggregate infections of varying sizes also broke out in the Meat Union Plants in places like Bafu and Shihe. The frequent occurrence of cluster infections in this industry also sparked a debate about the poor working conditions of slaughter workers in Germany.
According to the German "Times Online" report, as of 19 o'clock local time on the 17th, Germany accumulatively diagnosed 189178 people, cured 173557 people, and died 9016 people. (Finish)
