Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, several outbreaks have been recorded worldwide in industrial slaughterhouses and meat-processing plants. Competent Italian health authorities at regional and provincial levels agreed on a risk-oriented control plan.

Methods: Advocacy actions were activated, targeting meat plant managers and related food business operators. A questionnaire focused on the inventoried risk factors from literature was developed and administered voluntarily to interested stakeholders. In addition, an outbreak questionnaire was proposed to the prevention department of local health units.

Results: From 2021 to 2022, 333 advocacy and 24 outbreak questionnaires on 4,765 inventoried plants were collected. The lack of awareness in updating the Risk Assessment Document for COVID-19, non-instrumental body temperature checks at the entrance, working force from different subcontractors, poor hygiene in shared places, and insufficient ventilation were the main critical points recorded.

Conclusions: Results provide a post hoc review with an eye toward future zoonotic pandemics.

肉类加工厂中的 COVID-19：意大利目标预防计划中的一项调查。

背景：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，世界各地的工业屠宰场和肉类加工厂爆发了多起疫情。意大利地区和省级卫生主管部门商定了以风险为导向的控制计划：方法：针对肉类加工厂经理和相关食品企业经营者开展宣传活动。针对文献中列出的风险因素编制了一份调查问卷，并由感兴趣的利益相关者自愿填写。此外，还向地方卫生单位的预防部门提出了一份疫情调查问卷：结果：从 2021 年到 2022 年，共收集了 333 份宣传问卷和 24 份疫情调查问卷，涉及 4765 种库存植物。缺乏更新 COVID-19 风险评估文件的意识、入口处无仪器体温检测、来自不同分包商的劳动力、共用场所卫生条件差以及通风不足是记录的主要关键点：研究结果提供了一份着眼于未来人畜共患病大流行的事后审查报告。
