Dairy Processing Designated Essential Business in Light of COVID-19

As of March 30, all four provinces in western Canada have designated the food supply and its supporting industries, including processing, "critical" or essential" in the face of the the COVID-19 crisis. The common thread in each of these actions is that businesses supporting the food supply chain are not subject to the shutdown orders or restrictions on non-essential businesses.
