Three people at the Murfreesboro General Mills plant are confirmed to have COVID-19.
Company spokesperson Kelsey Roemhildt tells NewsRadio WGNS the company is taking appropriate measures to ensure employees are following best practices, they're taking extra sanitation measures and they have clear protocols in place.
STATEMENT FROM COMPANY SPOKESPERSON KELSEY ROEMHILDT
In addition to extra sanitation measures, our plants are implementing temperature checks and encouraging the use of masks. We've also created and implemented social distancing protocols at our manufacturing sites, including making use of different spaces for breaks rather than community areas, adjusting furniture and workstations to increase distance between people, and finding opportunities to leverage technology and transition in-person meetings to virtual communications.
Like many, we are going to be impacted by the virus. We have three confirmed cases at our Murfreesboro manufacturing plant. We have clear protocols in place to deal with a situation where an employee experiences an illness or needs to stay home from work to care for others. Right now, all our plants are open and operating, and we hope to keep safely making the food the world loves and needs right now."
