A Missouri health official said a Tyson plant in McDonald county, Missouri is testing its more than 1400 employees for COVID-19.

Last week Tyson announced that Arkansas facilities in the
counties directly south of the Missouri plant had more than a quarter of its
employees test positive for the virus.

Missouri State Health Director Randall Williams said the national guard is also going to be doing community testing in and around the counties of the Missouri plant.
