GUY: Evidently IoM took similar and sensible precautions in a timely manner to be totally free of infection now.

How was it done?
Closing of ports and airport, or temperature testing and quarantining?

I do feel it is spooky that of all the people in the whole of England, the 2 who went to NZ just happened to be infected!!

New Zealand’s director general of health, Ashley Bloomfield, told the media the women could have picked up the coronavirus in the UK, in airports, or on their flights.

I made the same deduction as Ashley Bloomfield - talk about stating the obvious. Giz a job!.

By the way, there is a recent outbreak on Anglesey. Figures seem to vary but all work in the same factory. Not good news.

Yes it is disturbing that a number of outbreaks have occurred at meat processing plants both in the UK and Europe, it would be hoped that such plants were particularly conscious of hygiene (including distancing) regulations particularly at times like this.

There was a similar outbreak a few weeks ago in Australia too.

There have been outbreaks in Canada as well, and in US plants too.

Is the common denominator meat processing plants in all countries affected?. If so, that seems a little strange to say the least.
The new cases on Anglesey and Wrexham meat processing plants would take up a lot of the increase in the above figures provided by Lizzie.

A BBC article suggested that a cool, damp and indoor environment was ideal for the virus. Added to which, the noise of machinery requiring workers to talk loudly or shout.

Plausible, if not yet proven.
