Looks like the IDPH delayed outbreak announcement at beef factory

Ugh

The state of Iowa potentially delayed an announcement about a COVID-19 outbreak occurring at the Iowa Premium Beef plant in Tama County, according to records I9 received through a public records request.

Emails between the Iowa Department of Public Health and local health officials said Governor Kim Reynolds was going to announce the plant as an outbreak center on April 16th. Instead, it was announced as an outbreak location days later on April 20th.

Pat Garrett, who is the spokesperson for the Governor’s office, said the variance in dates had to be a mistake because employees at the plant began receiving tests for COVID-19 on April 16th and April 17th. The state declares an outbreak at a facility once 10 percent of its employees are infected with COVID-19.

However, about one week before those employees were tested, they all received a letter about “an ongoing outbreak at their place of employment.”


Kimmy and her people are so busy worshiping at the altar of the Fuck Muppet they can't do anything right.
