Around 890 employees, 40 percent of the workforce, at a Tyson Foods pork-processing plant in Logansport, Indiana, have tested positive for COVID-19, U.S. media reported on Wednesday. 

According to the local health authority, a couple hundred others at the plant still need to be screened. 

The plant in Logansport halted operations on April 25. Tyson plans to resume limited production at the facility next week, following a plant tour with local health and government officials, a union representative and medical professionals. Tyson made the announcement in a joint statement with the city, county health department and local officials.
