A Tyson Foods pork processing plant in Iowa has ceased operations due to COVID-19 concerns and because too many workers have been absent amid the outbreak, the company said in a release.

The Waterloo facility will stop production mid-week until further notice, the company said. The plant, which is the company’s biggest pork processing facility, has been running at reduced capacity due to worker absenteeism.
