Luana Da Luz, from Passo Fundo, was rescued by firefighters.

On July 3, a state appeals court judge ordered the Passo Fundo poultry plant reopened, ruling that keeping it closed “could cause job losses, reduce tax collection and threaten food supplies.”

She is directing litigation against JBS over conditions at a poultry facility in the city of Passo Fundo.

JBS also rationed masks at the Passo Fundo poultry plant and the Dourados pork slaughterhouse in Mato Grosso do Sul state, according to a prosecutor and an attorney for a workers’ union in Dourados.

The plant in the town of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state, employs around 2,600 people, JBS said in a statement earlier in the day.
