As coronavirus cases climb to 81 at Tyson beef plant near Tri-Cities, more improvements required

The number of people with COVID-19 linked to the outbreak of Tyson Fresh Meats south of Pasco grew to 81 on Saturday but local authorities say closing the plant would be the wrong move.

Instead, Walla Walla County’s health department officials say they want to see continued improvements in worker protections at the beef slaughter and packaging plant.

If that doesn’t happen, they could take further action, including closing the plant until it is safe to reopen.

About 1,400 work at the Wallula plant. The outbreak there is sickening people who live in four counties and two states.
