Coronavirus at Iowa Tyson plant infected 1,031 workers, county says — far more than state or company acknowledges

Local officials say the coronavirus outbreak at a Tyson Foods pork processing plant in Iowa infected more than 1,000 workers, a far greater number than the state or company has acknowledged.

Black Hawk County health officials said Thursday they have identified 1,031 workers at the Waterloo plant who have tested positive for coronavirus or for antibodies that show they had been infected. That would be about 37 percent of the plant's 2,800 workers.

The Iowa Department of Public Health announced Tuesday that 444 workers at the plant had tested positive.

The outbreak at Tyson has devastated the community. At least three Waterloo Tyson employees have died, and a fourth is in a medical coma.
