At least 140 other people have become inflamed with a coronavirus, a primary outbreak at a meat processing plant.
Norfolk County Council said there had been a “significant outbreak” of Covid-19 at Cranswick Country Foods in Watton.
More than three hundred plants have been tested to date, with the remaining personnel scheduled for testing on Tuesday, October 27.
This occurs when a Bernard Matthews turkey plant in the county suffered an outbreak in October.
The council’s director of public health, dr. Louise Smith said the local authority along with the Joint Biosafety Center urges the citizens of Watton to be tested if they have symptoms.
She said in a statement: “Tests at Cranswick Foods have revealed a significant outbreak.
“At this stage, we have known about 140 positive cases out of about 300 analyzed to date.
“Swab research continues and the rest is being tested today and tomorrow.
“Due to the higher proportion of positive cases won to date, we are in contact with the Joint Biosafety Center and have intensified the tactile search and distribution of brochures in the Watton area, urging others with symptoms to test. “
