A newly released inspection report has revealed that a coronavirus outbreak at a meatpacking plant in northern Utah was more widespread than local health officials previously reported.
FOX-13 reported that the Utah Occupational Safety and Health Division report said the JBS Beef Plant in Hyrum had 441 employees test positive for COVID-19 and one employee had died. The Bear River Health Department previously told The Salt Lake Tribune that 385 employees tested positive and no deaths were linked to the outbreak. Inspectors finalized their report in July and the department released it last week. Several people have since returned to work. No fines have been issued to the company.
