Abstract

Summary What is already known about this topic? Workers at meat and poultry processing facilities are at increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection and are disproportionately foreign-born. What is added by this report? Compared with U.S.-born poultry workers, foreign-born workers at two Maryland facilities had higher odds of working on the production floor and of living with other poultry workers and lower odds of participating in social gatherings and visiting businesses during the preceding week. What are the implications for public health practice? Engineering and administrative controls might reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission risk for workers on the production floor, many of whom are foreign-born. Culturally and linguistically tailored messages should be disseminated about mitigation measures, particularly those pertaining to carpools and close living quarters.
