Long queues in front of the tents

The city set up tents in a parking lot for the campaign and called in doctors and volunteers. Long lines of employees, who wanted to get tested, lined up at the prescribed distance early in the morning, all on a voluntary basis, as emphasized.

They gave their rehearsal at the store and then left the parking lot in a large arch. Obviously, all of this went smoothly and so quickly that 400 employees were evaluated after just three hours.

The accommodation is being examined

In addition, 350 apartments are verified. Many of the employees who came to work at the slaughterhouse from abroad do not live in collective accommodation, but in normal rental apartments. Westfleisch confirmed to WDR magazine “Westpol” that several workers live in the accommodation: “In general, the accommodation of Westfleisch production employees is similar to that of families and shared apartments, most of which are occupied by three four or five people. ” The city verifies the hygienic conditions.

Crown Test Results Tuesday Night

The campaign will continue on Monday, and the first results will be announced on Tuesday night. It depends on how the measures to stop the crown pandemic are addressed. If a total of more than 90 people were infected in Hamm, the loosening of the crown measures would have to be paid again. They should take effect next Monday.

  • First crown case at Westfleisch in March

  • The meat corporation had the first crown infected much earlier: as WDR magazine “Westpol” investigated, the first case occurred on March 13, at the Münster headquarters.

  • Court: “Westfleisch” plant in Coesfeld remains closed

    In Coesfeld, planned relaxation measures are postponed for a full week, only schools and kindergartens can start operating again. The reason is the number of infections, which are well above the prescribed rate of 50 per 100,000 population. The slaughterhouse in Coesfeld was temporarily closed until May 17, 2020 at midnight on instructions from the district. “Westfleisch” wanted the decision to be canceled in court by urgent request, but the administrative court in Münster refused on Saturday (09.05.2020). “This confirms our legal opinion.“The district spokesman said in a first statement.

    Tönnies is also tested

    The Tönnies company will also conduct tests starting Monday, starting with 500 employees. After the accumulation of cases in “Westfleisch”, the country ordered that all 20,000 slaughterhouse employees be examined. In the Gütersloh district alone there are 16 companies, including five large ones.
