Americans head outdoors for Memorial Day weekend <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

An outbreak of coronavirus<\/a> cases at a food processing plant in Washington state has put a temporary halt to Clark County’s plans to enter phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan. According to Clark County Public Health, 38 workers at Firestone Pacific Foods in Vancouver have tested positive for COVID-19 so far.<\/p>\n

The plant was ordered to temporarily shut down last Tuesday, according to CBS News affiliate KOIN<\/a>. One worker has been hospitalized. Every employee at the facility will be tested for the coronavirus, a process which began Friday, KOIN reports.<\/p>\n

The county’s petition to enter phase 2 of reopening will be discussed next week.<\/p>\n

So far, 21 counties in Washington have been approved to begin phase 2, CBS News affiliate KIRO reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Phase 2 of Governor Jay Inslee’s plan for reopening includes restaurants operating at a maximum of 50% capacity with no more than five people at a table. Hair salons, nail salons and barber shops may also operate at 50% capacity. Outdoor activities involving no more than five people are permitted.<\/p>\n

One of the criteria for counties in Washington applying to move to phase 2 was to record an average of fewer than 10 new cases per 100,000 people for a two-week period, according to KIRO. Counties can be moved back to phase 1 or put back on full lockdown should things get worse during phase 2.<\/p>\n

Washington has over 19,200 confirmed cases and at least 1,050 people have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Food processing plants have emerged as hotspots for the coronavirus outbreak in several states. Nearly 600 workers<\/a><\/span> at a Tyson chicken plant in North Carolina tested positive for COVID-19 after the plant reopened following a deep cleaning.<\/p>\n

In Texas, testing at meatpacking plants in the Panhandle was greatly increased, which contributed to a large spike in confirmed cases<\/a><\/span> last week.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
