A Tennessee farm has confirmed that every single one of its workers has tested positive for covid-19 and an Iowa pork processor is to cease operations after a mass infection, as concerns mount about the security of America's food supply chain.
Henderson Farm in Evensville, in the east of the state, said that almost 200 people were infected.
All but three of the workers were asymptomatic, said Jon Schwalls, executive officer of Southern Valley, which runs the farm.
On Thursday Tyson Foods announced it was closing its pork processing plant in Storm Lake, Iowa, after almost a quarter of the workforce tested positive for covid-19.
A total of 555 people have been confirmed as having caught covid-19, the company said.
