A worker at the Maple Leaf Foods plant in Brandon, Man., has tested positive for COVID-19, says a memo from the union that represents the workers. Maple Leaf and the union were told about the positive test on Friday and the plant was deep cleaned twice over the long weekend, she said. Maple Leaf Foods said in a statement that it is reviewing the circumstances around the case, and it appears the worker contracted COVID-19 out in the community. A security guard at the Brandon plant previously tested positive for COVID-19 in May. Bruske said the positive case hasn't affected operations at the plant so far, but that could change if another positive case is found in the coming days.
