Workers at a second poultry processing facility in British Columbia have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday.

Two workers at Superior Poultry Processors Ltd. in Coquitlam have the virus, she said. The plant is the sister facility to Vancouver’s United Poultry Co. Ltd., where 29 staff members have been diagnosed with COVID-19, Henry said.

She said investigations are underway at both facilities, but it appears there was movement of workers and management staff between the two facilities.

“It does look like there’s likely to be others who are in the new facility as well who are also ill,” Henry said at Thursday’s daily news conference.

Officials from Superior Poultry and United Poultry were not available for comment Thursday.

Henry said she will be talking with leaders in B.C.’s meat-processing sector about required measures to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases in workplaces.

Premier John Horgan said Wednesday he was concerned some people may be reporting to work sick because they feared losing wages. He said he was planning meetings to discuss sick pay issues.
