Despite union claims that the number of workers testing positive for COVID-19 has risen to 20, Maple Leaf Foods continues to keep its hog packing plant at Brandon, Man., up and running.

The union wants it shut down for a cleanup and wants all workers to be tested.

Brandon now has 64 positive cases and testing facilities are maxed out. And there is a four-hour wait to be swabbed to collect samples for testing.

A number of Brandon businesses have shut down and others are restricting access and requiring masks to be worn.
