The Peel region is scrambling to contain the spread of COVID-19 in workplaces, which appear to be one of the largest sources of surging infection rates in the area west of Toronto.
Peel, which includes the cities of Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, is one of the country’s largest warehouse and distribution hubs, and businesses in the region employ many immigrants and members of multigenerational households. Widespread outbreaks in manufacturing and food processing have led to rapid household and community spread as public officials grapple with how to protect workers.
“We’re seeing transmission in industrial settings and essential workplaces, and there were a number of outbreaks in food processing and transportation and logistics,” said Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown. “While many people are sitting in the comfort of their homes and going to grocery stores, it’s an Amazon worker, a trucker in Brampton, or someone in a food processing plant that made sure they had their food.”
So some fatass in rural Ontario who is laughing about urban workers catching the virus might want to consider he has a full belly and his Amazon packages because they are going to work.
