Meat processor JBS USA is planning to partially reopen its pork production facility in Worthington, Minnesota, on Wednesday after closing for more than two weeks due to an outbreak of the CCP virus at the plant, the union representing its workers announced.

The Worthington pork facility, which has more than 2,000 employees and processes about 20,000 hogs per day, will open its “kill side” on Wednesday, UFCW Local 663 said in a release Sunday.
