Holly said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the health and wellbeing of the workers must be our main priority, ongoing outbreaks at meat processing plants have wider implications for the towns and villages they are located in. There are very real fears that localised lockdown measures could be imposed in a number of counties in the Midlands, undoing the months of progress made in bringing infection rates down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been an ongoing issue for months but we are seeing clusters in the same settings time and time again. What lessons have been learnt? <\/span><\/p>\n
