SPRINGDALE, Ark., March 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) As part of its strategy to increase production of consumer ready products, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) is expanding its case-ready meats business by repurposing plant capacity in South Carolina.
The company plans to reopen an idle Tyson-owned facility in Columbia and convert it into a meat-cutting facility that will produce retail ready, portioned packages of sliced, fresh beef and pork, as well as ground beef, for grocery and club stores in the eastern U.S.
State Request Approved by Federal Partners will Allow Additional Nursing Home Visitation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
March 10, 2021
COLUMBIA, S.C. South Carolina has received federal approval to update visitation guidelines for nursing homes and community residential care facilities, announced the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and Governor Henry McMaster.
These updated guidelines require facilities to use DHEC’s percent positive by county data to help determine their visitation status. This update will result in more facilities who were previously restricting visitation based solely on a county’s percent positive rate greater than 10 percent allowing in-person, indoor visitation.
Key Provisions
Under S. 147, covered entities (defined broadly to include for profit and non-profit businesses, governmental agencies, and healthcare facilities) need only show reasonable adherence to public health guidance to receive immunity from liability for acts or omissions relating to COVID-19 claims.
The bill does not define what constitutes “reasonable adherence.” However, during early drafting of the bill, state legislators debated whether to include “reasonable” to give flexibility to employer obligations, given the varying sources of public health guidance. A nearly identical bill introduced in South Carolina’s House of Representatives in 2020, H. 5527, defined public health guidance as including both state and federal public health guidance. However, S. 147 specifies that public health guidance refers to directives provided by South Carolina’s state agencies and includes federal guidance only to the extent such guidance is referenced by state agencies.
South Carolina state Senate has passed legislation that would provide immunity from COVID-19-related lawsuits for businesses that follow state and federal health guidelines.
