(KNZA)—Ten new positive cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Jackson County, bringing the county's total to 23.

That word came Thursday in a Facebook post by the Jackson County Health Department.

It comes after six new virus cases were reported Wednesday, and three new cases on Tuesday.

The health department reports three of Jackson County's cases have recovered and been released from isolation, while no deaths or hospitalizations have resulted from the county's cases.

Johnsonville on Wednesday temporarily suspended production at its Holton sausage processing plant after five employees were confirmed to have the virus.

Johnsonville said all employees will continue to get paid, and downtime will be used to implement even more aggressive safety protocols before reopening.

The company didn't announce when it plans to reopen the plant.

The plant, which employees about 230 workers, is Holton's largest employer.
