Days before Trump rally in Tulsa, city's Whirlpool plant closes for COVID-19 outbreak

[RandySF]

A Whirlpool plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has temporarily closed due to a coronavirus outbreak one week before President Donald Trump will visit the city for a rally.

The factory employs more than 1,600 workers, though it’s not clear how many have been infected with COVID-19, according to KOTV.

Whirlpool plans to re-open early next week and has already completed contact tracing on the infected employees, the company said.

“Any individuals who come in close contact with diagnosed employees have been notified and have been quarantined,” Whirlpool stated. “The plant is regularly cleaned per CDC guidelines and will be cleaned again before re-opening.”
