Vegetable producers A S Green and Co, in Herefordshire, has gone into lockdown after the positive tests. As a precaution, the workers are being treated as"one extended bubble" and are staying within household groups, the council said. "Despite these measures, a small number of workers became symptomatic earlier this week and they and a few close contacts among the workforce were tested initially and found to be positive," she said.Hereford Council leader David Hitchiner said the virus is"contained" on the farm
Did they get their infection in the UK or in their own country?
Brexiters will require re-assurance. “British strawberries” label to be replaced by “Picked by British strawberries”.
the tory farmers need to watched, carefully
Who do they supply?
Hope they can continue picking and packing wearing face masks perhaps so we can have veg in Waitrose
British citizens are too busy getting shit-faced and burning down 5g towers to pick fruit.
Apparently, British citizens are too busy burning down 5g towers to pick fruit.
I blame rat borne infection contaminating surfaces at bulk food processing & agricultural sites.
BBC bullshit
There may be many workers in similar circumstances. they should be regularly screened for Covid by mobile test teams.
Does anyone actually read the articles before commenting. - isolated farm -73 positives (only very few with mild symptoms) -doesnt say what nationality - PHE on site working with company - NOT SECOND WAVE - NO NEED TO PANIC!
Set up
Lol. Isolating in deserted countryside.
Yeah ok. So you got your test kits from the CDC? The ones infected with Coronavirus.
Farm workers 🤔..
Bet the farm regret being All Together Now...
Housed like battery hens id imagine
Why is English Govt not being challenged on these appalling numbers of deaths? BBC hides them behind UK results, but the breakdown by each of Nations shows English Govt is failing badly. BBCPolitics bbcworldservice BBCnews BBCScotlandNews Marr BBC
Ah. And that's the kind of poorly regulated work our brave Tory MPs were saying put of work people should sign up for.
I really hope that the workers were being accommodated according to the guidelines, in terms of the number of people sharing indoor space, households and bubbles HfdsCouncil PHE_uk
Is it the fruit pickers you called on the nation for?
CV-19 deaths weekly totals. Scotland - 2 N Ireland - 2 Wales - 10 England - 582
I assume the fruit is contaminated!
Is this connected to the flight from Eastern Europe bringing migrant workers in?
Wouldnt be the load flown in from abroad without checks would it
Bloody farmers and their black lives matter protests
Everyone will be affected with or without masks, they provide no protection and are actually harmful to you the longer you wear them.. Its in the air and in society so regardless of what you wear, we will all catch it....Some will die, some will not.
So Johnson new Herd experiment is working again then?
I’m no expert, but clearly some procedures not being carried out.
Foreign workers imported. What happened to quarantine? We don’t stand a chance if we let every dick and Harry in without any checks. Wave 2 August. Get Boris out & bring in Sunak provides he has been fully vetted. Do Security Services VET our politicians. Dominic a communist?
This is scary.
Cummings visits SAS. SAS based in Hereford. Covid breaks out in Herefordshire. He's at it again! Superspreader Dom.
It’s pretty obvious now the test is hugely flawed.
I know a few young people who applied for these jobs. They didn’t take them up because they were told they would be sharing caravans.
Lockdown coming soon
What's the odds it doesn't get put in to a Local Lockdown.... unless the local Council is Labour controlled.
Omg scarred 👻 73 cases none of which are serious. Well done bullshit broadcasting commission !
Did they arrive in this country by dinghies by any chance?
michaelgove tells people to go to work and die for his profit
Of the 73 who have it, does know how many of them are actually ill, or ill enough to need medical attention?
So what?
Surprise surprise
Look after these people well if they are isolating. They work hard to keep us fed and deserve to be treated as well as possible.
shit it's foolish to open shops.
Stop harassing the farmers. 😡
