Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Communications Director Lisa Cox reported Friday evening that 363 employees have been tested for COVID-19 at the Smithfield pork processing plant in Milan. Fourteen of those employees tested positive. More than 900 employees have yet to be tested.
Cox previously reported she believed more of a “box-in” strategy was being used for testing at the facility. The testing at Smithfield has been voluntary on behalf of the workers.
