Some 9% of employees at meat and poultry processing facilities contracted the virus in 14 states for which total numbers of workers were available.
Among the 61% of facilities that report race and ethnicity, 87% of the workers affected were minorities, with the largest share Hispanic , followed by non-Hispanic Blacks and Asians . That’s out of proportion with the demographics for the plants overall, which were 39% white, 30% Hispanic, 25% Black and 6% Asian, illustrating the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on racial and ethnic minorities.
The CDC previously found that 55% of Covid-19 cases in a nationwide study were Hispanic and Black, despite making up 31% of the total population of the country. According to the CDC, there have been 86 deaths at meat and poultry facilities, encompassing 0.5% of those infected.
