Poultry factory in Poland hit by coronavirus outbreak
One large poultry producer in Poland, AMI, decided to halt the operations in its plant in Mikstat after 233 workers have been tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The company intends to test all 781 employees on a regular basis to prevent future outbreaks.
