On Sunday Greenhill Produce announced 11 migrant workers had tested positive.
Today the number of positive tests is 39 and expected to rise.
All 250 workers at the green house operation have been tested and those results are slowly coming in.
The cases from Greenhill have been placed in isolation.
Dr. David Colby, the Medical Officer of Health for Chatham-Kent says it’s all about living in close quarters.
“ I think that’s already what has happened here, living arrangements that basically facilitate this type of transfer and that’s why we’ve got all of these bunkhouses isolated”.
That nearly doubles the number of cases in Chatham-Kent to 74.
