One long-time employee at Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire pudding factory died and another is still seriously ill in the hospital two weeks after a coronavirus outbreak was shown among the staff.
The woman worked at the company’s factory on Freightliner Road, Hull, where past cases were discovered and where she described her colleagues as “a vital member. “
His cause of death has not yet been confirmed, Covid-19 is believed to have been responsible.
The chiefs said at the time of the alert a fortnight ago that they had “followed and exceeded the guidelines” established through public fitness agencies by confirming past cases.
The plant, where a billion Yorkshires are produced each year, employs another 400 people and is very clean after the outbreak.
One long-time employee at Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire pudding factory died and another is still seriously ill in the hospital two weeks after a coronavirus outbreak was shown among the staff.
Aunt Bessie stated that the company had put in place new measures of social distance and that the plant would operate at “reduced capacity”.
Earlier this week, a Greggs plant in Newcastle temporarily closed after a small number of employees tested positive for the virus.
The company insisted that the move was just a precautionary measure to keep the groups as much as possible, with about three hundred more people hired at the Longbenton site, which will be cleaned very well before reopening.
Supplies are still expected to succeed at 1,700 Greggs outlets across the country, as one spokesman said: “We don’t expect any inventory cuts at our outlets right now. “
