Tyson has confirmed some of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19 at its plant in Perry. "For privacy out of our team members, we are not disclosing the number of confirmed cases," said Liz Croston, a spokesperson for Tyson. "We're working hard to protect our team members during this ever-changing situation, while also ensuring we continue fulfilling our critical role of helping feed people across the country." On Wednesday, Tyson confirmed that two of its employees who worked at the Columbus Junction plant died from COVID-19. Tyson said it's taking temperatures of employees, providing face coverings, doing additional cleaning and implementing social distancing measures at work stations. "We relaxed our attendance policy in March to encourage workers to stay at home when they're sick," Tyson said in a statement. "We've also been educating team members on COVID-19, including the importance of following Centers of Disease Control and Prevention guidelines away from work."
