Covid-19 infections reported in Guasave factory

Guasave, Sinaloa.- Employees of the Contec factory in Guasave denounce being working in unsuitable conditions with respect to the pandemic and the new rise in Covid-19 infections that are currently being registered, as they indicated that there are almost 150 workers infected in both shifts. The workers point out that even with symptoms they have been made to wait up to four hours to receive the exit pass. A group of workers who, for fear of reprisals, asked to keep their names anonymous, reported that inside the factory, due to the large number of personnel available, it is difficult to respect the healthy distance, in addition to having areas where there is not enough ventilation, so they fear getting sick with Covid-19 as has already happened with almost 150 of their colleagues.

They asked that the competent authorities to verify that the sanitary measures are complied with in the establishments intervene in the company, since they fear being infected.” We have to work, it is our income, it is what we support our family with, but we are afraid of getting infected. The health authorities should do something, at least verify and find a way in which the measures are respected and do not put us at risk to others, “said another of the complainants. The employees indicated that even when they do not take off their masks and they themselves try to comply with the protocols to avoid becoming infected, the infections are being registered, making it clear that the conditions are not good and although they do not seek sanctions or that the work be stopped, they do ask that action be taken at least to guarantee them less risk at the time of work. ” You can flex the entry and exit times of the different shifts so that the crowds are not made because that is where we all cross with everyone and it is where the contagion can occur. That they give us masks of the good ones because we have to buy them, they gave us glasses once and if they are lost they charge you; solutions must be found.” Empathy The employees also denounced that empathy is needed on the part of the employer, since some of their colleagues spent up to four hours, despite manifesting symptoms, to be given the exit pass.
