SARS CoV2: Keeping farm workers safe from the coronavirus

“Even people not feeling sick may be spreading the virus, so measures such as dividing teams of workers both physically and temporally are important to prevent transmission on the farm”

Food animal veterinarians can consider themselves as population medicine experts and therefore well qualified to advise swine farms on the extra precautions necessary both outside and inside the farm gate to prevent the entry of novel coronavirus SARS CoV2 and its spread among workers, we are told by independent swine veterinary consultant Dr. Carmen Alonso in Spain. She recommends using visual aids to pass the message to producers and their employees.
