Testing is underway for Duckwall Fruit employees in the wake of last week’s confirmation that four employees had tested positive for COVID-19.  A statement issued by company president Ed Weathers indicated four employees had tested positive for the virus.  Weathers said those who had positive tests last worked on May 21, and tested positive last week.  They are now in quarantine with no known hospitalizations, and 20 employees were deemed close contacts and were being contacted by health officials.  On Thursday night, Duckwall Fruit shut down its facility for a deep cleaning by a third party, and Weathers said the plant remains closed while employee testing takes place.  Weathers said they had initiated a number of preventive measures in February, including establishing crews that are one week on and one week off in an effort to minimize employee density.  He says they are working with the Oregon Department of Agricue Helture, Hood River County Health Department, and the North Central Public Health District on steps to reopen safely.
