The workers have been preemptively suspended after being diagnosed using rapid testing and will now be submitted to slower but more accurate molecular diagnostic testing, BRF said. The company said it has tested all of the workers at its Concórdia facility, which processes poultry and pork, with 93% of workers who tested negative returning to work on Monday.BRF is one of several meatpackers that have signed commitments with labor prosecutors aimed at increasing worker protections in a bid to remain in operation.
BRF and rival JBS SA have had outbreaks at their facilities, which in some cases forced plant closures pending introduction of more strict measures to contain the virus.
