    Why am I not surprised.

    Scotlynn Group, which has several farms, has experienced one of Ontario's largest COVID-19 outbreaks among seasonal farm workers. The Norfolk County company ships fruits and vegetables across Canada and the U.S.

    All told, 164 people have tested positive at Scotlynn, and 53 have tested negative. Four workers are in hospital and two are in intensive care. Some workers are quarantined at the Vittoria farm, while 119 others are at a Brantford hotels.

    CBC.ca: Don't be racist toward farm workers with COVID-19, says Brantford's health unit.
