Hundreds of workers at a pork plant in Missouri have tested positive for the CCP virus even while not showing any symptoms, state officials said.

Four hundred and twelve employees and contract workers tested positive for COVID-19, the disease the virus causes, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) said on May 5. None were showing symptoms of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Symptoms include cough, fever, and chills.
