farm workers

A large majority of farmers and farm workers say the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their mental health, and more than half say they are personally experiencing more mental health challenges than they were a year ago.

They claimed an order from the Michigan Health and Human Services Department specifically requiring them to submit to COVID-19virus testing amounted to a violation of their civil rights.

Michigan agricultural workers and those employed at food processing plants are now required to be tested for the COVID-19 virus.
