Leroy Midt has temporarily shut a plant in Hitra municipality Norway, after several of the workers tested positive for COVID-19 since Thursday last week.

Management will wait until it knows more about the extent of the infection before it will reopen the salmon factory in Josnoya.

On Saturday, 168 employees at Leroy Midt's factory on Josnoya were tested for COVID-19 after several of the previous cases of infection could be traced to employees or close contacts of employees.
