The country's supply chain could come under pressure as industry leaders in Canada have warned of "immediate and drastic" effects from the closures of key North American meat processing facilities, according to CTV. 

And in Canada, a number of facilities have been reduced, including one Cargill plant in Alberta where dozens of employees have tested positive for coronavirus. 

Michelle McMullen, communications manager at the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, said: "This single facility represents just over one-third of Canada's total processing capability, so the impacts to the Canadian beef industry are expected to be immediate and drastic."
