As meat and poultry operations across the nation work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in processing facilities, they're taking the fight to the air.

In part, that's due to mounting scientific evidence that indicates the highly infectious novel coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, is transmitted through air, not just by person-to-person (via respiratory droplets) or surface contact alone. [Plasma Air's AutoClean is proven to reduce SARS-CoV-2.] 

None of this is particularly good news for meat processing plants, where Covid-19 prevention and intervention tactics have focused on intensified sanitation measures for facilities and surfaces.

With a more robust understanding of a facility's airflow patterns and adopting some of today's advanced air cleaning technologies – meat and poultry processors can step up their air defense strategies as part of an effective multi-barrier approach to reducing COVID-19 in the plant.

JBS USA has invested millions in Plasma Air bipolar ionization technology across its beef, pork, and poultry plants "to ensure the best possible air quality for our team members," according to Eduardo Noronha, global head of operational excellence at JBS USA.
