Covid-19: Meat plant outbreak in west of Ireland led to more than 100 additional cases elsewhere

Image: Shutterstock/El Nariz Image: Shutterstock/El Nariz AN INITIAL OUTBREAK of Covid-19 at a meat plant in the west of the country caused more than 100 additional cases of the virus after it spread in the community, new data has shown.

The slides included examples of the impact of a person becoming sick in the workplace, before going home or to another event and infecting more people. One of those infected subsequently attended a wake and a funeral, leading to an additional 14 cases a week later. One of the affected students worked as a waitress at a wedding in a local hotel, which transmitted the virus to both staff and wedding guests, causing a further 16 positive cases, which in turn led to four further cases in private households.
