A day after Gov. Andy Beshear said Brazilian meat-packing giant JBS is considering closing its Louisville pork plant because of rising coronavirus infections, the company gave no indication a closure is imminent.
That's up from 57 last week, and includes one employee who died.
According to a news release, the investments amount to more than $200 million. Some of the money will be used for employee thank-you bonuses, with the remainder invested in equipment to enhance safeguards at its plants.
