Resource: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

May 28, 2020

As meat and poultry processing is considered a critical infrastructure within the food and agriculture sector, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided the industry with guidance for companies to follow amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

See CDC’s interim guidance created in conjunction with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 

As restaurants and bars slowly reopen, CDC has provided these businesses with the tips they need to keep employees and patrons safe. 

See CDC's Activities and Initiatives Supporting the COVID-19 Response and the President’s Plan for Opening America Up Again  


Some facilities across the food supply chain have been deemed part of the critical manufacturing sector identified by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. For that reason, CDC has provided guidance that advises food manufacturers and workers how to continue working following potential exposure to COVID-19.
