德国一肉联厂暴发疫情

Regional officials in western Germany said Wednesday that the number of new COVID-19 cases linked to a large meatpacking plant has risen to 657.
德国西部地区官员6月17日表示，与一家大型肉类加工厂密切关联的新冠肺炎新增确诊病例已增至657例。

Health officials in Guetersloh said they have received a total of 983 test results from workers at the Toennies slaughterhouse. Of those, 326 tests were negative.
据特斯洛县的卫生官员说，他们已经收到滕尼斯肉联厂共983名员工的检测结果，其中326人的检测结果呈阴性。

The infection rate in the country declined sharply after authorities imposed nationwide social distancing rules in March and the daily case increase has averaged between 300-400 in June.
3月德国实施全国范围的社交距离规定后，感染率大幅下降，6月该国的每日新增病例在300-400例之间。

滕尼斯肉联厂方面表示，疫情可能与边境管制放松后员工去东欧国家探亲有关。
