SPRINGFIELD TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – As Electrolux Manufacturing facility in Springfield works to limit the spread of COVID-19 within its manufacturing facility, the firm has announced that three more employees have tested positive with another potential case that’s pending test results.

In addition, we have implemented many safety steps including temperature scans, protective barriers, increased janitorial cleaning, sanitizing in high-traffic, high touch common areas and mandatory social distancing and face masks.” Eloise Hale – Corporate Communications Executive with Electrolux North America
