An internal communication provided to St. Joseph Post notified workers at the St. Joseph meat-packing plant that six additional workers have tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the total number of Triumph workers testing positive for COVID-19 to nine.

St. Joseph Post made numerous efforts to confirm the communication and numbers with Triumph Foods officials, but Triumph has not returned calls, texts, or email inquiries.

An official with the city of St. Joseph confirmed testing is being conducted at Triumph and stated more information would be released later.
