Edit, right now they count 657 cases in just this one factory.
It is such reports that call into question a deceptive normalization. At least one remains aware of the still existing danger. It's incredible... more than 400 cases in a single week in a single slaughterhouse. The news is half an hour young:
With 400 newly infected persons since the beginning of the week alone, the corona outbreak at Tönnies in Rheda-Wiedenbrück is becoming increasingly widespread. Of the 500 test results so far available on Wednesday from employees at the slaughterhouse and meat-cutting plant in the Gütersloh district, 400 are positive, a district spokeswoman said. However, further results are still pending.
Similar reports were heard from the USA weeks ago. The cause is probably not the slaughterhouse. It is the living conditions of the workers. They live together in a very confined space and are actually exploited. Most of them come from Southeast Europe in the hope that they will be better off materially here in Germany. The virus also exposes social issues.
They had the same issue with migrant labour in Singapore.
