A Cargill meat-processing plant is closing temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At least 64 employees at the operation south of Montreal have tested positive for the virus.

More than 170 workers were sent home last week as a preventive measure with more testing continuing until Friday.

It’s the second time the company has experienced a pandemic closure at one of its Canadian facilities.
