A large Abilene cracker-and-cookie bakery has closed because more than ten percent of its workforce is infected with the Coronavirus.

The city says 445 AbiMar Foods employees were tested and nearly 50 tests came back positive.

Abilene city hall promises a press conference today to announce what it calls "the company’s proactive response in minimizing the spread of the virus."
