Fraser Health has ordered a poultry processing pant in Chilliwack to remain closed as officials investigate an outbreak of COVID-19 at the facility.
Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry was one of two new poultry facilities where the disease was confirmed this week. Two other facilities in Vancouver and Coquitlam were identified last month. “The closure order is in place until Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry can demonstrate that they meet the parameters of the order, which includes addressing deficiencies at the site,” Fraser Health in a media release on Friday, adding that all staff have been tested for the virus.
