RHEDA-WIEDENBRUCK, GERMANY – JULY 17: A pig looks on from a truck loaded with pigs at the Toennies slaughterhouse and meat packing plant as the facility reopens following an outbreak during the coronavirus pandemic on July 17, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Over 1,500 of the approximately 7,000 workers at Toennies tested positive for Covid-19 infection last month, resulting in the closure of the plant for weeks. The reopening has been somewhat delayed today by the need for modifications to the slaughter system, though it is expected to resume later today. (Photo by Alexander Koerner/Getty Images)
