LABOR SHORTAGES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND OTHER STRATEGIES TO CONTROL THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ARE CAUSING MAJOR DISRUPTIONS IN THE US FOOD SUPPLY. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROTECT WORKERS' SAFETY AND ASSURE CONTINUATION OF FOOD PRODUCTION. TOWARDS THAT GOAL THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO: (1) CONDUCT MODELING OF COVID-19 SPREAD TO IDENTIFY OPTIMAL MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR LABOR INTENSIVE FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES (PRODUCE, DAIRY, BEEF/PORK AND POULTRY); (2) SCALE AND IMPLEMENT THOSE MODELS IN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS TO ASSESS EFFECTIVENESS OF POSSIBLE MITIGATION STRATEGIES; AND (3) DEVELOP AND DELIVER A COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE INTERACTIVE EXTENSION PROGRAM ON COVID-19 CONTROL STRATEGIES. THE GENERATED STRATEGIES AND TRAININGS WILL ALLOW THE FOOD INDUSTRY TO BETTER MANAGE COVID-19. THIS WILL IMPROVE RESILIENCE OF THE US FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN TO COVID-19 AND FUTURE FOOD SYSTEM DISRUPTIONS.
