Hormel plant ordered closed over covid 19 outbreak.

https://www.wifr.com/content/news/Hormel-plant-in-Rochelle-ordered-closed-over-COVID-19-outbreak-569741371.html

This is a very short article. The Ogle County health department ordered the closure. This is my county, which is mostly rural. Rural areas are the next hotspots.

This one plant is responsible for 24 cases.
