How many people work at this Dole pineapple factory? It seems the infection numbers go on and on. Are they just in "the hell with it" mode and continue working and simply handle cases as they arise?

[HHTel]

Pineapple processing in Thailand is dominated by Dole Thailand, established in 1974. Today it operates canneries in Hua Hin and Chumporn, and one 3,200 acre plantation the Ratchaburi province. Dole Thailand gets is supply of pineapples from its one plantation, but mostly relies on its network of 1,200 independent growers in the surrounding area. Dole tries to ensure quality standards by requiring growers to buy certain chemicals and fertilizers. As of 2005, Dole Thailand employed a total of 5,000 permanent workers, and 3,000 seasonal workers on their plantation and at their canneries.

I would guess that the workforce is bigger today.

When we were registering at Cha Am hospital this morning, there was an elderly Thai man who said he was from that community and was booking his vaccination - I hope he had already been tested for Covid and found negative!!
