UFCW Local 832 says four more employees at the Maple Leaf Foods plant in Brandon have tested positive for the coronavirus.

This brings the total to 8 cases at the plant this week.

None of the first four cases are to workers on the production line, but it’s unclear right now whether the new cases are or not.

Yesterday, Dr Brent Roussin said there isn’t any indication of workplace spread at Maple Leaf.

Roussin says the Brandon cluster is linked to a person who travelled from Eastern Canada and didn't self-isolate "perfectly'' upon arrival in Manitoba.
