At least 39 people may have COVID-19 as the result of a coronavirus outbreak at a meat packing plant south of Pasco.

Of those, 30 people connected to the Tyson Fresh Meats plant live in Benton and Franklin counties, says the Benton Franklin Health District.

At least 28 are employees and had positive lab tests for the new coronavirus.

The other two cases in the Tri-Cities area are considered probable because they have symptoms and close contact with at least one of the lab-confirmed cases.
