Around 200 workers at a farm in Herefordshire, England have been put into lockdown following an outbreak of Covid-19. Some 73 positive cases of the virus have been confirmed among workers at vegetable producer AS Green & Co, which is based in the village of Mathon, near Worcester.
A joint statement from Public Health England (PHE) Midlands and Herefordshire Council said employees were being asked to remain on the farm during the period of isolation.
The council said it is arranging food and essential supplies for residents on the site - who stay in mobile homes there during the harvesting season - while they self-isolate.
