SAO PAULO (Reuters) – A labor court in Brazil’s remote state of Rondonia ordered the closure of a plant operated there by JBS SA
In his ruling on Tuesday, Labor Judge Wadler Ferreira said JBS’s unit in the town of So Miguel do Guapor “is the main source of contamination and spread of the virus.” The ruling said more than 60% of the cases already confirmed in the municipality are inside the company.
JBS did not have an immediate comment.
