An employee was working as a machine operator for a firm that manufactured plastic products. He worked on the shop floor. At the facility at which he worked, there was an increase in COVID-19 cases in the month of March 2021. The first reported case of COVID-19 in the facility was on March 2, 2021. Over the next few weeks, 26 workers there came down with and tested positive for COVID-19. Because of the surge of cases, management decided to shut down for the weekend on March 19 in order for the facility to be sanitized as a deep cleaning was performed. On March 20, 2021, the employee tested positive for COVID-19. He went home to recover. On April 3, 2021, he was transported to a hospital.
