The Springdale, Ark.-based company, which processes about 20% of all beef, pork and chicken in the U.S., said that its plan to open the clinics near its plants was in the works before the coronavirus struck this year, but that they will undoubtedly help the company respond to the pandemic. Tyson said it would initially set up clinics near seven of its plants, including in Storm Lake, Iowa, and Holcomb, Kan., in a pilot program. It didn’t announce the other locations.
