COVID-19 can spread easily in settings with many people living in close proximity, including living facilities for migrant farmworkers. Farm owners and managers who provide housing for migrant workers should implement plans to prevent exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19, care for individuals with COVID-19, and prevent the spread of the disease.

NCDHHS Guía interina para trabajadores agrícolas migrantes y sus empleadores (PDF)

COVID-19 se puede propagar fácilmente en lugares donde muchas personas viven en condiciones apretadas, tales como viviendas para albergar a trabajadores agrícolas migrantes. Los dueños de granjas, gerentes, y todos los que proporcionan vivienda a trabajadores agrícolas migrantes deben implementar planes para evitar que se expongan al virus que causa el COVID-19, para que se atiendan a personas que posiblemente han sido infectadas por el COVID-19 o que ya han sido confirmadas con la enfermedad, y para prevenir la propagación de la enfermedad entre sus trabajadores.
