The Coquitlam poultry plant at the centre of the Tri-Cities largest outbreak has received approval from Fraser Health to re-open after the health authority rescinded its April 24 closure order today. 

“The plant has reopened with measures in place to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission," said a spokesperson from Fraser Health in a press release Thursday. 

"Fraser Health will continue to work closely with Superior Poultry Processors Ltd. to maintain the health and safety of staff during this pandemic."

More to come.
