The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse will suspend the slaughtering of live pigs on Friday for disinfection, after dozens of workers came down with Covid-19.
It said in a statement that its weekly testing of workers and buyers at the abattoir found 86 Covid positive cases among 1,100 samples.
The department said the slaughterhouse will be closed on Friday and is expected to resume limited services on Saturday.
It added that its daily auction of live pigs at the abattoir will be conducted through other means, while the trade has been notified that they may move their pigs to the Tsuen Wan Slaughterhouse for slaughtering.
