Ex-workers sue chicken plant over Covid outbreak

by Roman

Former workers at a poultry factory who claim they caught coronavirus in a mass outbreak at the plant can continue legal action against their former employers.

Public Health Wales said there were over 200 confirmed Covid-19 cases linked to the 2 Sisters plant in Llangefni, on Anglesey, in June 2020.

The group are suing 2 Sisters Food Group, alleging they contracted Covid-19 as a result of a breach of duty, breach of contract and negligence.

Their case was thrown out last year but they have now won a High Court appeal, allowing the case to continue.

Lawyers for 2 Sisters previously argued the claimants could not prove how they caught the virus and if it was connected to the factory.
