"recent inspections at three other Boar's Head facilities turned up similarly alarming sanitation problems—including mold, condensation on ceilings, overflowing trash, meat residue caked onto equipment and walls, and employees failing to wash their hands."

Free covid tests were supposed to available from usps this month. When I went to the website, and clicked the link - it went to the general Admin for Strategic Preparedness & Response site. With no mention of Covid tests anywhere. Searching turns up old pages.
