Another slaughterhouse, this time in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has become the epicenter of a new Covid-19 outbreak in Germany with some 400 positives , according to the first results of PCR tests on hundreds of workers. .
The company, which has a slaughter area and packaging plant, detected the first positive last week, after which it promised to take extraordinary hygiene measures and test its more than 600 employees, two thirds of whom have given positive .
It is not the first Covid-19 outbreak to occur in meat plants in Germany. In early May, health authorities detected 130 positives among workers and their families in one slaughterhouse in the state of Schleswig-Holstein , while 450 in another slaughterhouse in Baden-Württemberg were counted in facilities with 1,100 workers.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), charged with overseeing the pandemic, values these outbreaks without drama. These are specific outbreaks that, despite their impact on statistics, do not imply a recurrence of the pandemic.
Health Minister Jens Spahn last month asked his regional colleagues to develop a specific protocol for slaughterhouses to avoid new outbreaks and create insecurity in the food chain.
