Alberta Health is linking the death of man in his 30s to a COVID-19 outbreak at a Red Deer slaughterhouse, which was first declared months ago. That includes 80 active cases, 75 recovered and one death, Alberta Health confirmed. Alberta Health Services declared an outbreak at the plant on Nov. 17. Although Alberta Health confirms the man's death is linked to the current COVID-19 outbreak at the plant, the company has not yet reached that conclusion. UFCW Local 401 president Thomas Hesse says the union is looking into the details around the death that Alberta Health has linked to the Olymel outbreak.
